Dog Injured On 7/28 by Pit Bull Mix. Information needed. Featured

Written by Beth Smith

There was another incident at the dog beach where a dog injured another dog, and the owner left the beach without taking responsability for his dogs actions.

On Wednsday, July 28 at 10 am a small white Schnoodle was injured by another dog who tried to steal her tennis ball. The dog was playing fetch on the north end of the beach when the Pit mix aproached the small dog and tried to steal her pink tennis ball. When she wouldn't drop the ball, the Pit mix grabed her by the back and wouldn't release her until the owner pinched it's cheeks and forced it to let go. The Pit's owner responded by saying "Sorry, my dog usually only bites when he's bitten first". The Schnoodle was rushed to the vet, and the other owner left the beach, no information was exchanged.

The attacking dog was discribed as a "50# dog that was a mix between a pit bull and some kind of hound. It clearly had the face/jaw of a pit. It was the golden brown color of a Vizsla. The owner was a male, early thirties, short brown hair with a goatee. Tan caucasion but possibly Latino. About 6 foot tall and lean."  There were 50 or so people at the beach that morning who may have seen the attack. If anyone has any infomation about the owner or dog, please contact us.

    I am the owner of the dog from the above incident. I am a lover of all dogs and completely agree that owners can create poorly behaved dogs. That being said, my dog had 9 deep puncture wounds that took 6 weeks to heal. What was most disappointing was that of the 75 or so other people there, no one came to my aid so I wasn't able to get the information I needed from the offending dog owner. My dog is now back to full energy but she is very skittish around other dogs now. Just as I was considering whether we would ever go to the dog beach again, I saw on this site that another dog was attacked. First the chiuaua was killed there earlier this summer, then my dog, and now this dog and it's owner were attacked. I strongly advise dog owners to consider other places/modes of activity for their pets. There is a very disturbing pattern building here and I finally feel the need to speak up.

    Please don't let this be another reason to discriminate Pitties...it is the OWNER'S fault, not the dog.

    This happened on a day and time when there are a lot of regulars at the beach. The owner was on the north end of the beach by herself, playing fetch with her dog. When the pit mix grabbed the smaller white dog she still wouldn't release her pink ball. She wouldn't have cried out so maybe people who were there didn't realize the extent of the injury. Her puncture wounds were deep enough they couldn't be stitched, and it's a three week recovery time. It's more that just "one of those things".

    Please, if you have seen this dog or know who it is, let us know. The owners response to the situation leads us to believe he knows his dog has aggression issues, and has no business being at the dog beach.
