A man & his wife were with their 3 Schipperkes and a Golden Retriever in the park when the Pit Bull came and attacked one of their dogs. (a Schipperkers) The couple tried to save their dog, but it wasn’t until another man intervened and hit the dog with a dog toy (stick) that the Pit Bull released the other dog. The smaller dog was killed. It was 14 years old and the couple had rescued it 4 years ago from SD Humane Society.The dog made his way to sit outside of an apartment complex. Police officers kept an eye on the dog when an SD Humane Society officer arrived. The officer approached the dog with a “Catch Pole”. The dog went for the attack on the officer and came with a foot of her as the police officers went to defend her. (Caught on Video).More Humane Society officers arrived. After climbing to a 2nd story apartment, the SDHS officer was able to make entry and was able to put the “Catch Pole” rope around the dogs’ throat. The dog was very strong and was beginning to fight with the officer. Another officer came in with a “Catch Pole” and they were able to put the dog in the truck.A male from the apartment complex told us he was attacked by the same dog earlier in the evening and the dog had bitten through his pants leg before he was able to get away. We were also told that by the owners of the dead dog, that a young boy across the street from the park had the Pit Bull chase him and his smaller dog. The Police and the SDHS will be looking for the owner of the dog.
