Comments on: Molino Woman Hospitalized Following Dog Attack http://www.northescambia.com/2011/04/molino-woman-attacked-by-dogs Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sat, 11 Apr 2026 12:01:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: spitfire http://www.northescambia.com/2011/04/molino-woman-attacked-by-dogs/comment-page-1#comment-83367 spitfire Tue, 19 Apr 2011 17:40:57 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=51433#comment-83367 This is what happens when un-thinking country-type people let their dogs run around the area and don't care. This nearly happened to me last year in my own yard after I arrived home from work. I saw two dogs in my yard and said to the dogs "Go home!". One of them started walking toward me growling and looking like he wanted to jump me. I had my long umbrella so I held it out toward him but backed to my front door, got the keys in the lock and went inside. I called the sherriff's number and they said call animal control. I called animal control and they said they can't go out at night because they can't see where a dog is attacking from. I've also seen other people's dogs in my back yard. I don't let my kids play in the back without me. All Animal Control said was find out where the dogs live and they will investigate with the owner. Loose dogs have killed children all over. But people think it will never happen to them..... WRONG! This is what happens when un-thinking country-type people let their dogs run around the area and don’t care.

Animal Control called me back 4 days later and wants to try to find the vicious dogs I called about on the 15th at 12:27.Just before they crossed hwy 29 heading west. I am so aggravated. Is animal control this far behind? I would have certainly thought someone who called and reported a dog in someones garage trying to bite a man, and I said they were very vicious, would get top priority. Mrs Vivian should never have been bitten. If the dogs had not left so quickly, she would not have, if you know what I mean. We are so sorry Mrs. Vivian. Wow, we can relax now.

Owners need to be responsible for their animals and when they are careless things like this happen.

I wish you a speedy full recovery. Were they pitbull mix dogs, or dogs that appeared to be pitbulls, or full blooded pitbulls? I only ask because I have done ALOT of studying on that breed and I still cant pick alot of Pitbulls out of a lineup. There are many breeds that look like pits and I have seen a study from the American Kennel Club where it states that over %80 of pitbull attacks were wrongfully accused. Im NOT saying this is the case this time. Im just wondering if it was defenitly pitbulls. Im just trying to know for sure and I dont mean any disrespect towards you. I truly hope for your speedy recovery. I also hope that the owner of these dogs are brought up on charges. Vivian it is great news that you are ok. I wish you a speedy full recovery.

I am so sorry that you had to go through this. I hope the dog owners are found and held accountable. There is no excuse for this. Owners should keep their animals confined to there property. Whodat, you are mistaken. There are no leash laws north of Well Line Rd. We found this out when our son was attacked. Even so, people are not allowed to let their animals become a nuisance to their neighbors. You can get a leash law passed for your road. You just have to have cooperation of a percentage of your neighborhood. Animal control can tell you how to go about that. And yes, animal control is overworked and understaffed.
