On April 7, 2014, Attorney Thomas J. Newell provided a free home consultation to a Bucks County woman who was attacked by a neighbor’s unrestrained pit bull. The pit bull first attacked her Boston Terrier which was being walked on a leash pursuant to the PA Dog Law.

When the Bucks County dog attack victim tried to rescue her terrier, the pit bull bit her hands. The pit bull owner stood nearby and did nothing to stop the attack. Fortunately, another neighbor came running to her aid and was able to help the victim force the pit bull to stop biting the terrier’s neck.

On March 31, 2014, a Dauphin County visiting nurse appeared at the scheduled time to treat a patient at her home near Harrisburg, PA. Unfortunately, the negligent dog owner didn’t confine her vicious mixed breed dog. Before the nurse could take off her jacket, she was attacked 3x by the mixed breed dog.

Fortunately for the Dauphin County dog attack victim, the dog wasn’t able to bite through all the layers of her clothes. The dog left bruises on her left arm and she was evaluated at Holy Spirit Hospital. The dog owner told the victim after the attack, “He had never bitten anyone inside the home before.”

A Feb. 25, 2014 article from carolinalive.com described a horrific ordeal that took place on 2/3/14. A North Carolina Dept. of Health & Environmental Control employee went to the Dillon County home of Mitchell Driggers to investigate a past dog attack. When the investigator arrived, he was severely mauled and still remains in serious condition at a local hospital more than 3 weeks after this unprovoked dog bite attack!

There are 2 “versions” of the facts.  You be the judge as to which is more trustworthy. The pit bull mauling victim was able to call 911 for help and told the operator that 2 pit bulls were attacking him. Police officers who arrived at the defendant’s home reported that 2 pit bulls were attacking. They shot and killed both pit bulls in order to stop the attack.

The pit bulls owner’s version is quite different. He told WPDE News Channel 15 that he only owned 1 of those pit bulls and … surprise, surprise … he insisted that it had no involvement with the attack upon the victim. As to the “real” attacking pit bull, he claimed that he didn’t own it, but that it “was just always around his property.” IMO, that’s as honest on the truth meter as “you will be able to keep your own health insurance plan.”

What a Schuylkill County PA man did with his adult male Chinese Shar Pei on 2/4/14 may qualify for the dumbest decision made by a dog owner in 2014. His wife wanted to go grocery shopping. What should he do with the Shar Pei?

1. Leave it at home with ample food and water;
2. Bring it along and sit with the Shar Pei in the SUV while his wife was grocery shopping;
3. Put the dog on a leash and take the Shar Pei for a walk; or,
4. Park in a busy and full parking lot, tie the Shar Pei to the bumper of your SUV while you sit inside the vehicle?

An 84 year-old woman parked her car in that same lot and began walking past the parked cars on her way into the grocery store. Suddenly and without any warning, the adult male Shar Pei jumped up, knocked her to the ground and bit her. The Luzerne County dog bite victim suffered multiple bite wounds to her left arm which were treated at the Geisinger Health Clinic.

By tying the dog to the bumper of the vehicle, the dog owner now artificially created a situation where the Shar Pei would naturally protect its new found “turf” and attack anyone who came too close to the SUV. To do so in a crowded parking lot with many pedestrians is unfathomable. The PA Dog Law can’t prevent a dog owner’s complete lack of common sense.

On February 7, 2014, a Berks County dog attack victim was given a free home consultation by Attorney Thomas J. Newell.  Your PA dog bite lawyer traveled to Reading, PA to meet with a woman in her 60’s who was mauled by a Mastiff in 2013.  Attorney Newell described the steps he would take to aggressively move forward with her personal injury case.

The Mastiff attack victim was house sitting for a relative in Berks County, PA when the dog suddenly, and without warning, jumped up and bit her in the face.  Emergency facial surgery was performed at Reading Hospital.  Future plastic surgery seems to be a certainty.

The American Humane Organization has offered some tips to dog owners to minimize the possibility of a dog attack.  When dogs are stressed, they are at a greater risk of acting aggressively.  These are some of the signs that indicate your dog may be stressed:

* Panting or rapid breathing
* Pacing or excessive movement
* Charging forward, batting or snapping
* Dilated, large pupils
* Hunched-up body posture
* Fluffed-up fur

An observant dog owner should be able to detect unusual activity by their dog and react promptly to diffuse a possible dog attack
