Dog attacks on people

Here is a story of a typical young  person that just doesn’t understand that these types of dogs by breeding tend to be vicious and destructive, they seem to want to portray a sad story of love for their pet but the truth is that statistics are fact and if a dog attacks someone it will do it again. While the love for a pet is understandable, I believe a better choice of dog would have been best. We have handled thousands of dog attack cases and our clients are the ones that have suffered because of these types of dogs. Call it what you will but it’s still in the pit bull family.

After 10 months on doggie “death row,” Rocky is not the pet Anthony Kallas and Sheri Brown remember.

The 95-pound Weimaraner-Staffordshire Terrier mix, draped like an old sock across the couple’s sofa in Royse City, is hard to see as the expressive dog that always reminded Brown of a quirky old man.

It is even harder to imagine the day last September in McKinney when Rocky lunged at Brown’s mother, tearing a chunk out of her upper lip.

In the eyes of the law, 9-year-old Rocky is a “dangerous dog” – a pit bull who is lucky to be alive after a judge ordered him euthanized for the attack, which left Brown’s mother scarred.

To Brown and Kallas – Rocky’s owner since he was a puppy – he is a family member who made a mistake and was hounded out of Collin County amid public and official paranoia about dog attacks.

After fighting for nearly half a year to save Rocky, Brown and Kallas struggled for almost as long to find a new city that would let him in – or where one misstep wouldn’t put him right back behind bars.

“It’s not really about the dog,” Brown said. “Whatever they’re fearful of at the time, they’re going to regulate.”
