Johnny and Devin Cannady had been charged with being an owner of an attacking dog, but failed to appear at their arraignment Thursday.
Prosecutors say their two pit bulls attacked Donna Breto as she was outside the North Point Smoke Shop on July 31.
"I started for the door and next thing I remember I was on the ground," Berto said of the attack. "I could feel him biting my head, biting my hand, biting my legs."
She was taken to the ground. The dogs bit others who tried to help, and the canines finally ran away after somebody fired gunshots, prosecutors said.
Her injuries required plastic surgery to repair significant wounds to her face, head, hands and legs, prosecutors said.
The owners of the dog disputed the claim and filed an appeal, saying police had identified the wrong dogs, but investigators said evidence, including video surveillance of the attack, convinced them they have the correct dogs.
The appeal was denied and the dogs were classified as Dangerous Dogs, and will be euthanized, according to court documents.

Hopefully these two pit bulls really will be destroyed asap. I estimate the chances to be good, since this fugitive owner would have to turn himself in in order to appeal the decision. And since we all know that all pit bull owners are cowards, never willing to face the music for what they've done and the choices they make.
ReplyDeleteYes they all run and hide like cock roaches when their pibbles attacks.Leaving the victim to deal with the devastation and pain.

DeleteGeez! I just don't get it, if you are going to have this type of animal, which to me is crazy, the very least you could do is accept responsibility when the crappola hits the fan, which it's only a matter of time.
ReplyDeletePut on your big girl underwear or your big boy tighty wighties and face the music!!
So sad that this woman had to go through all of this when other countries have managed to ban this type of dog because it truly is too risky to have as a pet and in our neighborhoods. So many people and other animals have suffered because of the stubbornness of some and the negligence of our government.
ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled if even just our city would ban these beasts! I don't see that ever happening unfortunately.
