oh look, another vicious unprovoked attack by a cocker spaniel...



1/22/12
A six-year-old girl could be scarred for life after her ear was bitten off in a vicious dog attack.

The child is in hospital after also suffering injuries to her neck and shoulder when she was mauled by a Staffordshire bull terrier in a park in Chingford, Essex.There was a mum and dad and two children. They brought the child down to safety then the father ran back up the girl to find the girl's ear in case it could be sewn back on.

Holy shit, look at the "size" of that mouth! It is easy to see how a person's arm, leg, face, another dog, or whatever could fit in there!

Soap actor commits suicide after pup's 'forced' euthanasia


A down-on-his-luck soap-opera actor took his own life this week after he was forced to put his beloved dog to sleep under pressure from his Upper West Side condo and became wracked by grief, pals said.

Nick Santino euthanized his dog, Rocco, Tuesday -- on Santino’s 47^th birthday. That night, his guilt over the gut-wrenching decision became too much to bear.

“Today I betrayed my best friend and put down my best friend,” a despondent Santino wrote in a suicide note, said close friend Stuart Sarnoff.

“Rocco trusted me and I failed him. He didn’t deserve this.”

The Brooklyn-born Santino -- a struggling actor whose TV credits include “All My Children” and “Guiding Light” -- adopted Rocco from a shelter several years ago.

The man, raised in an orphanage and foster homes, soon began to write about his pet on Facebook, writing, “I did not rescue Rocco, Rocco rescued me.”

But in 2010, his building at 1 Lincoln Plaza announced strict new dog regulations, including a ban on pit bulls. The ban didn’t apply to pit bulls already in the building, but friends and neighbors said Santino began to be harassed.

“People were complaining about his dog,” said neighbor Kevan Cleary, 63, an adjunct professor at Brooklyn Law School. “It was open season on him.”

Rocco couldn’t ride in the main elevators and wasn’t allowed to be left in the apartment alone for more than nine hours.

Santino was then threatened with a $250 fine for having a barking dog, neighbors said.

“The dog was not a barker, but somebody complained that the dog would bark,” Cleary said.

“He felt like he was in this battle because he was the only guy in the building with a pit-bull mix,” Cleary added.

Another neighbor, Lia Pettigrew, who runs a pet-care company, said, “Everybody knows that he had been harassed by the building management.”

The building’s management refused to comment.

it's a sad story, but i feel the man had other issues if he would commit suicide in this situation.

Post: #74

Yeah you would think the guy could have come up with a better solution than killing the dog and himself, maybe like moving somewhere else.

Did I mention that my brother has a pit bull/ chihuahua mix? I told him that that fucker will eat his toes someday.

dog was chained in front yard. but any child could have walked into yard any time. and did. :(

A 17-month-old Jacksonville boy died today after being attacked by a chained Rottweiler when the boy broke from his mother and went into a neighbor's yard, police said.

The attack that killed Dylan Andres occurred just before noon in the 1000 block of Maynard Street off Norwood Avenue, said Chief of Detectives Tom Hackney. A neighbor who witnessed part of the attack said the boy was bitten in the neck. He was pronounced dead at Shands Jacksonville hospital.

Hackney said the boy and his mother, Destiny Kieszler, had gone to the grocery store, returned and were in front of their house. He said the child got away from his mother as she was unpacking groceries. He wandered into a neighbor's yard across the street and was attacked by the dog, which was chained to a pole in the front yard.

Hackney said the Rottweiler bit the child repeatedly.

Neighbor Jessica Golden said she'd just been to the store with Kieszler and Dylan and was in her house when she heard the mother's screams. Golden ran outsid and saw Dylan's father trying to pull him away from the dog.

"The dog had the baby in its mouth," said Golden, trembling and holding an unlit cigarette. "The baby was full of blood. It was just a tragedy."

Hackney said the Rottweiler will be euthanized. He said police have no reports of trouble with that dog, though Golden said the dog chased her before. The owner of the Rottweiler was not home at the time of the attack, Hackney said.

An aunt, who declined to give her name, but said the boy's father was heartbroken. Two other aunts standing near the scene wept as they spoke about their nephew.

Keisha Jones, 28, said she last saw her nephew Thursday.

"He was an energetic little boy. He was adventurous," Jones said. "This is so sad."

Aunt Tamika Clark said Dylan loved to play with balls.

"He brought us a lot of joy," Clark said. "He had the brightest smile that lit up a room."

Neighbor Joseph Ellard, 24, said he heard a bunch of screaming and dogs barking. He said he left his house, grabbed a stick and ran to the scene to find the boy's mother holding the victim. He said the victim was covered in dirt and blood.

"She [the mom] was very hysterical," Ellard said. "She was screaming, 'Take me to the hospital. The dog bit my kid.' They said the kid got loose ... but I don't know exactly what happened."

Ellard said his girlfriend took the child and the mother to the hospital in a car. The father is still on the scene, talking with police. Animal Care and Protectives Services workers went toward the home with tools used to capture dogs.

Ellard's sister, Gina, said she also heard the screams of the boy's parents and heard her brother yelling that the dog had bitten the boy.

"I heard the mother screaming, 'The dog's got the baby! The dog's got the baby!'" Gina Ellard said.

From LC's post:

The mom took the kid to the store. When she got home, she got the kid out of the car (he went ACROSS THE STREET) then started unloading groceries. Somehow the dad appeared after the boy was attacked. He had to be in the house. The neighbor went to the store, too, and didn't help watch the boy while the mom unloaded groceries. What is wrong with people? I keep an eye on every little kid I see whether I know them or not.
