Teenaged boy unable to control pit bull; Pomeranian mauled to death as a result

NEW YORK -- A Ruhlman Road man lost his canine companion on Thursday after another dog attacked and killed it.

 According to the Niagara County Sheriff's Office, the complainant was walking his Pomeranian dog around the Ruhlman Road apartment complex when it was suddenly attacked by a pit bull, which grabbed the smaller dog in its mouth and refused to let go.

"Once the pit bull released the Pomeranian (the man) realized that his dog was dead," the Sheriff's report states.

A young boy then ran up to the pair of dogs and walked the pill bull to one of the apartments.

Patrol made contact with the boy who told them he was walking his dog when it suddenly began to pull him towards the Pomeranian. The juvenile "fell to the ground and was being dragged by his pit bull," the report says. "Eventually he was unable to hold on any longer and the leash slipped out of his hand."

By the time he got to his dog, it was already attacking the smaller dog. The juvenile "grabbed his dog's back legs in an attempt to make him drop the Pomeranian. Once his dog dropped the other dog, he quickly walked the dog home."

The boy's mother told patrol that they had just gotten the dog in August. She further said she doesn't want the dog anymore and that she would take it to the Niagara County SPCA today.
