CARY, Illinois (AP) -- A 10-year-old boy was in critical condition Sunday after three pit bulls escaped from a home and went on a rampage, attacking six people before police shot and killed dogs, authorities said.

No charges had been filed Sunday, but McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren said it was being investigated as a crime scene.

Neighbors said the attacks started late Saturday afternoon when children going door-to-door for a fund-raiser arrived at the home of Scott Sword, 41, who owned the dogs.

"We had music playing, and I heard this bizarre sound," said Debby Rivera, who lives three houses away. "I looked out the window, and I saw a young boy. The dogs were just jumping on him."

"The screams were horrible," she said. The dogs were "relentless, like they were possessed."

The pit bulls attacked the two children, and when the dogs' owner tried to stop them, the dogs turned on him and bit off his thumb, Nygren said. The boy's father also tried to protect his son and was attacked. The dogs went after another neighbor as well.

"The scene sprawled over a couple blocks; it was a very chaotic scene," said Lt. Michael Douglas of the Cary Fire Protection District.

Residents threw rocks at the dogs and honked car horns to try to distract them from attacking before police arrived and shot the animals.

Jim Malone said he and a neighbor tried to beat the dogs back with baseball bats. "He'd hit them, they'd run, and they'd come back," Malone said. "This went on for 15 minutes."

The boy who was attacked, Nick Foley, was hospitalized in critical condition Sunday. His friend Jordan Lamarre, also 10, was in serious condition. Nick's father was listed in good condition. Sword and two others were treated for injuries and released.


they are great dogs arnt they?

See why I don't ride horses..... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

In the United States, an estimated 30 million persons ride horses each year (1). Total injury-related morbidity and mortality associated with horseback riding in the United States is unknown; however, during 1976-1987, 205 such fatalities occurred in 27 states (2). Even though alcohol use is a risk behavior for many types of injury, its role in horseback-riding-associated deaths has not yet been established. This report summarizes a study by the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) to characterize all horseback-riding-associated deaths during 1979-1989 and to determine what proportion of riders had used alcohol before death.

Thirty horseback-riding (including mule-riding) -associated deaths were identified; on average, one to three occurred each year. Sixteen (53%) decedents were male. Decedents' ages ranged from 7 to 68 years (median: 33.5 years).

Twenty-five persons were mounted on a horse at the time of the fatal event; four persons were trampled or kicked; and for one person, rider status was unknown. Twenty-one (70%) riders died when they fell or were thrown from the horse. Twenty (67%) riders died following head injuries (including one rider who drowned after striking his head, losing consciousness, and rolling into water); nine (30%) riders died from internal chest or abdominal injuries; and one rider drowned when he rode his horse into a lake.

I can think of a few things I might "wanna be".

First man to walk on the moon.
The man who invented CD's.
A fly on the wall in Bill Clinton's office.
A great poet. A famous movie star.
A close, personal friend of Jennifer Anniston.

I just don't think I would want to be the pot stirrer's "wannabe". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Sharpei-cross put down after attack on pre-schooler

24.03.05


A dog that attacked a Christchurch 4-year-old, leaving him with serious facial injuries, has been destroyed.

Jacob Stark had surgery on Sunday after he was attacked by the sharpei-terrier cross dog while playing at a friend's house.

He received cuts and bruising to his lip, cheek, forehead and back.

Doctors have said he will be off pre-school for 10 days.

Christchurch City Council animal control team leader Mark Vincent said yesterday the dog's owner agreed to destroy the pet.

Animal control thought it was the best approach and no further action would be taken.

The male dog, which had been in the council's care since the attack, was not a purebred sharpei, Mr Vincent said.

"In our opinion it's got way more terrier than anything else, probably 75 per cent.

"Parents and dog owners everywhere need to remember that all dogs, of whatever breed or mixture, have the potential to bite."

Racheal Stark said she was happy the dog had been destroyed.

"Any dog that does that should be put down straight away," she said.

"Jacob is recovering but we are finding it difficult because he is frustrated he can't go to kindy and it is a matter of finding things for him to do."

Im glad you found a way to contribute,



Somehow I failed to see this.

Now the way I see it. I have been on this board since 2001.
Before that I was on Posse Country and before that, Shadetree.

You've been on this board about 5 months and somehow you already have over 200 posts more than I do.
This got me to thinking about my contribution to this board as opposed to yours. Granted my contribution to this board hasn't been anything special, but I have always tried to conduct myself in a fairly decent manner. I also was one of the original three that helped start the annual PM LBL hunt.
Nothing to brag about, but I don't feel like I've hurt anyone or this board. If I have hurt anyone unknowingly, I would like to relay my apologies to them at this time.

I did a search on your eight hundred and some odd posts and...well, I'm not sure what you mean by contributing....but I guess talking alot could be considered "contributing". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

You told me to get a life in one of your threads. I've posted a little over 600 times in five years.
You've posted over 800 times in five months.......hmmm??
Get a life you say? Hmmmm? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
 
Bopeye Im getting this creepy stalker feeling from your in depth research and fascination with everything I do,if i see you peeking through my window Im letting my"BAD DOG" out!:)
 
I guess I just keep looking for a meaningful post of yours about coyote hunting. You do coyote hunt, yes?

Just wondering why I was having such a hard time finding any of your posts pertaining to coyote hunting.

I guess it's not a set in stone criteria that all members of this board hunt coyotes.......I just assumed that we all did or at the very least were trying too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

No matter. I assure you that I won't be in your neck of the woods for a long time....maybe never. If I do get up that way though, I promise not to stop by your house. Don't know if I could stand the humiliation of being mauled by a weiner dog.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bopeye i have been hunting coyotes since i was 10,I have never taken a pic of myself with a dead coyote and Im not going to start to prove anything to you.Id be willing to bet i have killed enough of them to keep you happy,but who knows.I thought this was a PREDATOR hunting site,I am an avid bear hunter and I try to take a lion every year.I have killed 8 black bear and 2 lions,does that qualify me as a predator hunter?Did I offend you by posting storys out of the local newspapers about predators and dog attacks?I didnt write them I just posted them here,if you think they were storys written to make dogs look bad you need to harass the various writers who published them in the Montana newspapers they came out of.Come to think of it my buddy has a pic of me with a yote I took with my bow,if you want to see it get ahold of him.

OK guys. That's enough.

Bopeye, you've made your point.

NONYA, we all know that dogs attack, wolves eat elk and deer, etc etc.

We are going to keep this forum for the hunting of lions and bears and for houndsmen. Any future dog attack stories or wolf stories or. or... belong in "The Church..."
