Dogs Tear Off Man’s Genitals, Maul Woman’s Breast
A 22-year-old man remains in a coma after an English Bulldog ripped off his genitals in a horrific attack Sunday, October 7.
Emergency workers found lying in a pool of his own blood in East Lothian, Scotland. The dog bit off his penis and testicles in a flat on Haddington’s High Street at around 2:30 p.m. Paramedics immediately called for backup when they saw the dog was also covered in the man’s blood. The victim was rushed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with serious injuries to his groin area.
Police said they are investigating after “a man suffered serious injuries believed to have been caused by a dog.” Enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing and the dog has reportedly been placed in a kennel. Investigators have been unable to interview the victim because he is still unconscious and it is unclear whether the injured man owned the dog.
In the meantime, Downunder in Australia, Ash-lee Wenman, 21, a young pregnant mother sustained severe injuries after a pit bull (pictured above) latched onto her breast Saturday, October 6. While attempting to get away from the vicious beast, the dog initially went for her hand, to which she suffered puncture wounds, before going for her right breast.
Wenman was visiting a friend’s Hastings home on Mornington Peninsula in Victoria when she was set upon by the pit bull in the driveway. The young woman said the dog jumped up at her and would not let go. “I honestly thought it was going to get my throat and I was going to die,” she recalled. “It was stiff and growling and I was like, ‘Please get the dog away from me!’ I was just screaming for an ambulance and … the owner of the dog was just sitting there like nothing had happened.” The owner, she said, simply reprimanded the land shark, saying, “Naughty boy!” before putting the animal into the car.
Wenman was rushed to Frankston Hospital, where she underwent extensive surgery. She continues to suffer excruciating pain.
A Mornington Peninsula Shire spokesman reported the dog in question was kept outside the municipality, but they were working with the relevant council to follow up on the investigation.
Wenman wants the beast put down. “I don’t think the dog should be roaming around … it could get a kid and kill a kid,” she said. A neighbor also said the dog was dangerous.
In March 2017, a 63-year-old woman in Roswell, New Mexico, had her breast torn off in a pit bull attack. “When he come out, he started grabbing me,” Barbara A. Brown said. “He grabbed my right breast and pulled it off. He got my right hand and he got my left hand. And he got my left leg. Then he almost got my head. He got a bite mark in it. He got hooked to my scalp. I thought it had tore up my scalp the way it felt.” Mrs. Brown also suffered broken bones and serious lacerations in the attack.
