OXFORD, Mich. (WXYZ) - A mother and daughter are being treated for bites after the family pit bull went on the attack.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Department says a mother and daughter were arguing early Thursday morning inside their home in Oxford Township. That's when the family dog attacked the daughter. The mother then tried to pull the pit bull away and was also attacked.
Three other children inside the home locked themselves in a closet to keep to hide from the vicious dog.
When deputies arrived at the home the mother was on the porch and the dog was still inside the home. One deputy approached the animal which started growling and showing its teeth. The deputy was forced to shoot the dog which ran out the door. It was later found outside the home and was put down.
An Oakland County Animal Control officer found a second pit bull inside and removed it from the home.
The 39-year-old mother and 16-year-old daughter were treated at Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and released, the children inside the home were not injured.
“...oh that’s odd, Tango never does that to anyone else.”
Probably the last thing the owner says right before their dog rips into someone. Or after — “my dog has never done that before. They must have done something to provoke my dog.”
“... not advisable to fight around a Bull Mastiff”.
Sounds very similar to mine... dog got confused over protection when two of the people he was suppose to protect appeared to be fighting. I think it totally confuses the dog to the point that you aren’t 100% sure how he will react. I can imagine your brother’s surprise when he had a giant mouth put around his arm!!
Other breeds are different. And some dogs are bred for their strength and power... and ultimately, their ability to incapacitate or even kill someone.
Oh ya, and last but not least, the idiot owner that does all of the wrong things that you list below. Dogs are domesticated but they are still animals with instincts and pack type behaviors.
My dog has this attitude towards violence “I am the professional - leave it ALL to me, no violence is allowed in my presence. Violent behavior WILL be met with a tackle and subduing mouth around your throat.”
We were out for a walk and she got all antsy because a guy in his truck was fighting with his girlfriend. When he punctuated his argument by slamming his fist against her seat with three loud bangs - my dog went nuts. She did a leap that would have landed her in the front seat of his truck!
Luckily she was on leash and I pulled her back - but she was going in like Wonder Woman - to settle the matter.... conclusively!!!!
Add profiling to the list .... I profile.
:)
My stepdad was rough housing with my sister (his daughter)when that dog jumped through the screen window and bit him on the butt!
Had to get rid of that dog!
Mystifying, isn't it? And ESPECIALLY around children!
There is only one way to deal with a raging pit:
Wrap arm around neck tightly, and use other hand to completely plug nose.
The mutt will immediately release its jaws to breathe.
Just do not let go until the dog collapses from o2 starvation.
What is sort of funny is your dog HATES violence and is really peace loving. She’s just like 170 pounds of peace lovin’ fun!! Everyone will get along or I’ll settle it. LOL!!
One has to any more in this country, right....sad as that may be.
Faggot pit bull or a bunch of horse shit?
Especially a loaded dog ! (couldn’t resist)
“Mountain Bike Vomit Carnage”?!?
WTH?
Survival skill in this era of political correctness IMO.
Hope yer well...stay safe.
