A 1/28/14 article from abc2news.com detailed the January 20th PA pit bull attack that left 3 people injured.  Just a few days earlier, a woman from East Hopewell Township had adopted a pit bull from the BARCS shelter in Baltimore, MD.  An article from The York Dispatch quotes a Pennsylvania State Trooper who stated that the animal shelter claimed: “three veterinarians recommended him (the pit bull) for adoption.”

The pit bull allegedly broke free from its owner and attacked 2 brothers, ages 10 & 11, while they were playing basketball on their own driveway.  Their mother ran to their aid and she was also attacked by this vicious pit bull.  All 3 PA dog bite victims received medical care at a local hospital.  The pit bull has been euthanized and rabies testing results should be forthcoming shortly.

On 10/21/13, Orphans’ Court Judge Theodore Fritsch of the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas approved a $53,000.00 payout for a Bucks County dog bite victim.  Attorney Thomas J. Newell had been hired by the boy’s mother after the June 2012 dog attack.  The 13 year-old had walked thru the defendant’s front door with her permission when her unrestrained pit bull launched an unprovoked attack.

The PA dog bite victim was treated at Doylestown Hospital.  An emergency room doctor used 9 stitches to close the dog bite wounds to his hands and right leg.  Soon thereafter, the negligent pit bull owner was charged with harboring a dangerous and unlicensed dog.  She pled guilty to those PA Dog Law citations.

On October 9, 2013, a York City woman spoke with PA dog bite attorney, Thomas J. Newell, regarding the recent killing of the family’s Tibetan Spaniel by their neighbor’s pit bull.  The woman was standing in her backyard while her dog was near the neighbor’s fence.  Suddenly, the pit bull came out from under the fence, grabbed the spaniel by the neck and dragged her into its backyard.  The pit bull tore the tiny dog apart and killed it.

This vicious pit bull has initiated unprovoked attacks on other dogs before.  It killed another dog in 2012 after the pit bull jumped a fence and attacked the dog as it was being walked by its owner.  That same day, the pit bull jumped another fence to attack a Labrador Retriever and a Tibetan Spaniel.  Hopefully, the authorities will take appropriate action to ensure that this pit bull does not get loose again.
