I am not saying the dog owner is not responsible. The whole story seems strange. If the little girl were running down the street it would be more plausible, but a dog breaking into a house full of people to attack? Something isn’t right. We are not getting the whole story and that begs the question WHY aren’t we getting the whole story?
Not necessarily. Dogs have a sense of smell thousands of times more sensitive than a human being and a sense of hearing that is greater in the high pitch than a human. They can find you if they need to do so.
There have been stories of pits chewing through doors or going through glass doors and still go into attack mode.
The dog began its attack on a woman outside (which woman, I do not know), the woman opened the door in an attempt to escape. Very poor reporting in the article.
Chol’s cousin Daniel Atem said the injured woman was outside the house when the dog chased her inside. Atem said the dog then attacked the five-year-old. As Chol’s mother intervened it turned on Chol, who was clinging to her mother’s leg.
The story said: "Chol’s cousin Daniel Atem said the injured woman was outside the house when the dog chased her inside."
It sounds like the woman was attacked outside and attempted to escape the attack by running inside.
If you read the article it said the “woman was outside and the dog chased her into her house”.
