Housekeeper Attacked by Dog in Third Incident at Residence
In Fresno, California, a housekeeper was seriously injured and sent to a medical facility after she was attacked and bitten by two English Bull Terriers. In a previous incident that resulted in a lawsuit against the homeowner, a 12-year-old boy was also seriously injured after being attacked by a dog in the residence. The report states this is the second attack against the housekeeper in the last two months.
The three incidents altogether occurred in the last 8 months. It is a violation of law to maintain a dog with vicious tendencies, however, no legal action has been taken against the home owners as of yet. The woman suffered injuries to her face, arm and legs. The 12-year-old suffered severe scaring to his face as a result of the attack against him.
The fact that these two dogs have attacked people on more than one occasion presents a dangerous situation for many other people that may happen to come across those dogs or the residence where they are kept. According to the report, the homeowners have continued to be uncooperative with law enforcement regarding this matter and one of the dogs was even taken away from the home to an undisclosed location. Unfortunately, this presents a problem for law enforcement as they cannot do anything to prevent any other incidents. As a result, it is possible for many other dog attacks to occur.
