7 Year Old Girl Attacked by Pit Bull in Mobile Home Park
A 7 year old girl was attacked at 3:00 in the afternoon by a 115 lb. pit bull in the Valley View Mobile Home Park in the Atlanta area. A good Samaritan saw the attack, and was able to fight off the dog with a piece of lumber, and then rushed the child to a local hospital. The girl has severe damage to her leg, but it “could have been a lot worse had he not intervened” said Sgt. Dana Pierce with the local police department.
The dog has been euthanized and is being tested for rabies. Police said that charges against the dog’s owners will come shortly.
Frank & Dave’s Analysis of This Story:
Do you think the lawsuit will end with just the tenant, who probably has no insurance or assets? No, the park owner is in trouble here. We cannot emphasize enough that you cannot allow pit bulls and other dangerous breeds in your park, and certainly never in any circumstance that can allow them to roam free or attack through a fence.
If you have a small dog roaming the park, you call animal control. If you have a pit bull or similar breed roaming the park, you call 911. These animals are on par with a 5 year old roaming the park with a loaded shotgun.
