Horrifying moment dog mauls five-year-old girl’s arm in church parking lot as frantic adults try to wrestle it from her
GRAPHIC video shows the horrifying moment a dog mauled a five-year-old girl’s arm in a church parking lot, as frantic adults tried to wrestle the animal away from her.
As the little girl was skipping through the parking lot after church with her father, a dog ran up to her and attacked her, unprovoked.
A dog comes into the frame from a road across the Colorado Springs church parking lot — off-leash, with its owner was nowhere in sight.
As the dog turns from the road into the parking lot running full speed, the five-year-old girl skips into the video frame, holding an adult woman’s hand.
Without warning, the dog darts between the man and launches at his daughter, aggressively biting her left arm and mauling it.
The incident occurred on Oct. 20, 2019, according to the Bite Blotter.
The dog’s owner was issued a charge for Unlawful Ownership of a Dangerous Animal, and the owner surrendered the dog for euthanasia, the humane society said in a post.
The humane society said they shared the video as a warning to people about dangerous animals.
“Although our goal is to save as many lives as we can, some pets are simply not safe to be in the community.,”
“To prevent bites and attacks, pet owners need the basic tenets of responsible pet ownership — spaying and neutering to prevent roaming, keeping your pet restrained at all times, and seeking professional training before a behavior escalates.”
