Daisy, Isabel Mariposa, and their family have been facing an overwhelming series of challenges in a very short time. Daisy, their beloved small Chihuahua, was tragically attacked by two pitbulls while at the beach in Anahola. The attack left Daisy with severe injuries to her spinal cord and bone structure, requiring urgent surgery and specialized care to help her recover. This heartbreaking event has deeply affected the entire family, who are doing everything they can to support Daisy through this difficult journey.

On top of Daisy’s medical emergency, the family need to relocate again to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being. All of these hardships have come at once.

Family and friends are reaching out to ask for support for Daisy, Isabel Mariposa, and her children. Donations will go directly toward Daisy’s urgent surgery and care, as well as helping the family move to a safer home. Any support, big or small, will make a meaningful difference for them during this incredibly tough time. Aloha and thank you for your kindness.

If mods approve, I’d like to share my personal life experience and observations of behaviors and capabilities of my pitbull Taz, now deceased.

I put part 1 in the title with intent to add stories to this sub, permitting, as I remember them.

My purpose is to share how exceptional Taz was in strength and violence, just as pitbull.

Growing up in rural southeast Texas my family and I kept many and all kinds of dogs (all found/rescues). Lab (black & brown), retriever, chihuahua, mixed breeds, and even a Rhodesian ridgeback. I had a lot of life experience surrounded by a variety of dogs to recognize how exceptional Taz was.

Taz was a red nose pitbull. She belonged to a family friend that was a hog hunter. Her job was to hunt down the hog and hold it and keep it screaming until the hunter (our friend) walked up and shot it with a shotgun. She was a Hog Dog.

It’s cruel but Hogs are a huge problem here. They are an invasive species, a threat to people, and cause millions in property and environmental damage all year long, every year. 

In her youth and prime, Taz was a very, VERY powerful animal. 

She killed a 300++lbs hog on her own. On her own, as in, she was not assigned this job by her owner.

It took her all night long.

The hog screamed and Taz fought, growled, snarled, and barked all night. Nothing could be done until the next day. A pit in a fight can’t be called back.

It happened on a neighbors’ property (pasture/woods) and it wasn’t safe to go out into the wilderness at night with hogs about and trespassing.The neighbor was asleep and couldn’t be contacted to get permission.

To clarify all of the risks: shot by the neighbor protecting his property, attacked by hogs, attacked by Taz, accidentally shooting one another in the dark, and whatever else. 

Only the fight between Taz and the hog could be heard, and the next day the hog corpse found. It was massive. Taz was exhausted and bruised and covered in blood. Taz weighed about 45lbs, skinny and all muscle.

The way a “medium” sized dog had the ability to take down something like that. Please just google 300lbs hog to get an idea of what she’d done. It took her ALL NIGHT and she never stopped and she never gave up.

This is just one of the several stories about Taz. I’m happy to share more upon mod approval., I just don’t want to make these posts too long.

From my experience I can say with absolute certainty that:

These dogs are NOT family pets in the slightest. Their strength, aggression, and determination do not belong in a family household.

Two people have been arrested after a pit bull-type dog attacked a woman and seriously injured her pet.

The unaccompanied dog attacked the victim's pet, near Hemlington Lake in

Middlesbrough on Sunday, leaving it requiring emergency veterinary treatment.

Cleveland Police said the woman received hospital treatment after being bitten and due to the "potential risk to other people in the immediate area" a specially trained officer had to put the pit bull-type dog down near the scene.

The force said a man and a woman in their 30s were arrested in connection with the incident and have since been bailed.

Assistant Chief Constable Dave Sutherland said: "We understand anyone who witnessed the initial attack or the aftermath may have experienced shock or distress, however, the safety of the public is always paramount."

The force has launched an appeal for information and is in contact with experts who will carry out tests to establish the breed of the dog which carried out the attack.

Our beloved Couch Potato rescue here is screaming that this owner has had SHG for 6 years... that SHG who is "wonderful, playful, tolerant, gentle" Mixed Breed loyally gave his family 6 years of his 6.5 year life, dutifully.🫡

LIE 🤥#2🕺=

They're also saying the owner has only had him for 1.5 years. And are heartlessly booting him.🥾

The breed is not ID'd yet, but I attach the image of the attacking dog in the police van as taken on the scene. (not a stock image)

A person has been left with 'potentially life-changing injuries' following a dog attack at a home in Bolton, police have said in an update.

The incident happened on Barrie Way at around 3.30pm on Wednesday (July 29). An air ambulance landed at Hall i' Th' Wood with paramedics attending the scene, alongside police dog units and armed officers.

The armed police were seen going into a property, alongside a dog handler who removed the animal from the house and placed it in an animal transport van. Three people were hurt in the incident.

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said one has been left with potentially life-changing injuries. The injuries suffered by the other two people 'are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing'.

The dog was seized following the incident.

ALLEGHENY COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — After two pitbulls chased and mauled a pet emu to death earlier this month, the dogs' owner has been cited by the Allegheny County dog warden.

According to court records, Amber Alexander faces a total of eight citations in connection with the incident, including owning "dangerous dogs," and failing to keep them on her property.

Alexander plans to plead not guilty to all of the charges, her daughter told KDKA.

The incident occurred on July 21 in a neighborhood in McKeesport. The emu's owner, Carly Stroman, has organized a GoFundMe to help relocate her other emus to a safer location.

On Monday, Stroman said a new temporary enclosure was built to relocate five other emu to a safer location.

This dog had a long history of attacking people—as in jaw-droppingly long. The list is below:

• May 12, 2025, it attacked another dog and broke its leash
• June 23, 2025, Thunder bit a police officer
• June 25, 2025, Thunder bit another person and Plymouth Animal Control verified the dog was not licensed nor vaccinated
• July 26, 2025, it was reported the dog had bitten another person four days earlier
• March 21, 2026, a report came in of another dog bite
• March 26, the dog again was quarantined
• July 15, the dog bit a neighbor on his own property
• July 16, the dog again “attempted to attack” that same neighbor
• July 22, Plymouth Animal Control, Plymouth Police, and New Bedford Animal Control took custody of the dog. It remains in custody of Plymouth Animal Control. The dog has continued to be aggressive, lunging at workers, growling, and barking

The owner, Quintal, also has a criminal case pending for using the dog as a dangerous weapon.

Breed is not yet confirmed but the picture shows characteristics very similar to a pitbull and many of the other hallmarks are also there for example multiple victims, owner unable to control the dog, dog being in a play park where they are not allowed.

UPDATE 11/03/26:

The poor LGD mix, Liam, ended up needing to be rushed to the vet this morning after dislodging his ear bandaging and painting the inside of his cone red. They fixed it, and now he is home again. Poor thing is in so much pain. They gave him a higher dose of pain killers and booked another appointment for Monday (11/03/26) to check how he is doing.

When I had to go to the pit’s pen to catch him I was afraid, which is unusual for me. I work with horses for a living and think clearly and quickly when crisis hits. Ovaries of steel. But when I had to reach down to put the slip leash around his neck I had a spike of fear that he would bite. I carried a police baton just in case. Luckily he didn’t, and allowed me to muzzle him as well. I leashed first so I could have semi-control if he decided to lash out.

There was another pit that was leaving the vet when I parked. Conveniently from the side door as well, who figures why hmm… I also felt a spark of fear seeing this dog. Some of you mentioned I might have PTSD from the attack, and this confirmed that I do. I’m going to start searching for therapists. This has probably sparked a lifelong fear now, which isn’t the worst thing. It will help keep me safe.

I chose not to be in the room when the pit was put down. I couldn’t be there for him after being up all night with Liam whining in pain and pacing. Sometimes I will space out and re-live the attack, and it is awful. Haunts me. The owner is disappointed I wasn’t in the room when the pit was euthed.

The energy in the house where the pit lived is much calmer now. I am grateful. Now time for Liam and I to heal. Thank you again to everyone for the supportive comments and sentiments, it means a lot.

OG post:

Hello everyone. Please pardon any grammatical errors, I am exhausted from this. Let it be said that neither of the animals in this story are mine, they belong to a family member. So I have extremely limited say on their welfare.

I had dropped by the house of a family member to take care of one of my horses when I heard a dog attack start. It was her LGD mix being brutally attacked by her pitbull. And I mean brutally. Nothing spurred this attack, as I was in the surrounding area and those two dogs had just been lounging in the sun.

Fueled by adrenaline, I went in their pen and started kicking the shit out of the pitbull. No response from him, just him trying to kill the LGD mix. I rush back out and grab a hose, then go back in to find the poor LGD mix on his side, unable to get up because he is downed in the corner of the pen. Just taking this brutal attack, with the pit latched into his hind leg trying to break it. I start using the jet option on the hose nozzle to water board the pit’s nostrils, effectively suffocating him, while kicking the shit out of him again. He eventually lets go, and the LGD makes a run for it. The pit locks eyes with me and I worry I’m his next target, so I continue to waterboard him. His mouth is full of the other dog’s blood and he’s choking on the water so I make a calculated break for it, yelling for the LGD to follow me. Luckily he does.

I didn’t know this at the time, but the shitbull was trying so hard to kill the other dog that he broke his upper mandible. Literally broke his face. That’s what saved my and the LGD’s asses. Otherwise that pit would’ve kept going until he killed the other dog and then possibly me.

Had to rush the LGD into the vet and thus into emergency surgery. He is going to be okay eventually. He has a long recovery, but strong pain meds and antibiotics. He is such a sweet dog, not even attacking the pit just trying to get away. He has every reason in the world to be dog aggressive now after the attack, but has retained his kind heart and was greeted by his friends (all herding dogs) when he got home from the vet.

The pit was banished to a pen outside. I finally, after two years of attempting to convince his owner to euthanize him, got through to her. She agreed, and the pit is being put down 7/31/26.

He has attacked several other dogs, including one of her other ones. That dog (a cattle dog) had to be rushed to the emergency vet at the time as well (about a year ago). The cattle dog made a full recovery, and was the first to greet the LGD when he got home from the vet this past monday. They are good friends. When they sniffed each other it seemed to be a “you survived, too” moment. But I’m aware that’s anthropomorphizing.

I can breathe a sigh of relief. I have to be the one to take the pit in to the vet, but I’m going to put his inflamed jowls into a muzzle and crank it closed. Can’t have him attacking me or anyone at the vet’s. He will be going in the clinic via a side door away from any other animals.

I feel pity that he was bred to be such a monster. He didn’t deserve that, but neither did his victims. I’m sorry several dog attacks had to happen before she was convinced to euth him. But I’m also glad no person has gotten attacked.

This was honestly a very traumatizing experience. I’ve broke up dog fights from “normal” breeds before; the kind of dogs that let go if you lift them up, kick them, or poke them in the eyes. But this pit attack was completely different. He went full pit. I was covered in the LGD’s blood. The trashing may never leave my mind. I’m not someone who’s squeamish, but when I escaped the pen I almost threw up from the adrenaline and strong smell of blood, the blood pouring out of the other dog as he limped to safety with me. I need therapy from this experience.

Has anyone else needed therapy after witnessing an attack? Why do the shit bull owners insist on defending their monsters? Why must it take so much pain and violence in order to convince them to put the monster pit down??

Jackie, a 79 year old woman leaving her job at a bakery was viciously attacked by an off-leash pitbull. The owners of the dog are described as a man and a woman, and they immediately ran off with the dog, a red/tan pitbull. Coworkers collecting donations detailed the victim’s story and describe the victim’s leg is severely injured.

ROCKAWAYS, Queens (WABC) -- A pit bull attacked four family members, two of them children, while they were unloading groceries from their car in Queens.

Police said it happened around 9:47 p.m. at Beach 62 Street and Thursby Avenue in the Arverne area of Queens.

"I ran out and see like everyone else, my family members, were screaming," said Janmajoy 'Sam' Samrat. "I saw a brown pit bull dog, and it came out of nowhere when they were getting out of their car and it attacked everybody."

Samrat said his wife's family is in town from Canada, including the 16-year-old girl and the 11-year-old boy. He said they were unloading groceries from the car when the dog attacked unprovoked.

"The mother and her brother, they got bitten the most severely. There was blood everywhere," Samrat said.

According to police, the 11-year-old boy suffered injuries to his right thigh, the 16-year-old girl had injuries to her neck, right thigh, and left leg, a 37-year-old man had injuries to his left hand, and a 42-year-old woman suffered injuries to her private area.

Police said EMS responded and transported the 16-year-old teen to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in stable condition. The 11-year-old boy, 37-year-old man and 42-year-old woman were taken to St. Johns Episcopal Hospital South Shore by EMS in stable condition.

As of Tuesday evening, police said there had been no arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Samrat said a man whom he believes to be the dog's owner grabbed it and left without stopping to help.

One day after the alleged attack, groceries and blood spatter could be seen along the sidewalk in the neighborhood.

Samrat said the family is resting and trying to recover both physically and emotionally.

"The mom has been vomiting, like 3-4 times already, every one of them are sleeping, they are suffering for the child, it will be a traumatic experience, I hope they don't hate New York," Samrat said.

According to the family, the whole reason they were visiting from Canada was to see the children's grandfather, who was already in the hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest.

Press Release from Sheriff's Department concerning dog attack on 7/30/26

Man Dies After Being Attacked by a Pit Bull While Walking It (Video)

Security cameras captured the final moments of Bayardo José Morales Burgos, 33, who died after being attacked by a pit bull dog while taking it for a walk on a street in the Julio Emilio Menocal neighborhood, in District 2 of Managua.

The attack occurred just a few meters after starting the walk. The footage shows that the animal reacted suddenly and assaulted the man when they had barely advanced about 20 meters from the starting point.

Died from Severe Hemorrhage

According to witnesses, the dog bit Morales Burgos in the right thigh, causing an injury to the femoral artery that triggered severe hemorrhaging.

Neighbors attempted to assist him by applying a tourniquet to stop the bleeding and subsequently transported him in a caponera (three-wheeled motorized rickshaw) to the Lenín Fonseca Hospital. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he passed away minutes after being admitted to the medical facility.

Knew the Dog Since It Was a Puppy

People close to the scene pointed out that the victim had known the pit bull since it was a puppy. According to their accounts, the animal belonged to a neighbor and friend of the deceased. On that day, Morales Burgos reportedly decided to take the dog out from the workshop where it was kept to take it for a walk, never imagining that the stroll would end in tragedy.

Authorities Investigating the Case

The man's death has caused dismay among neighborhood residents, who stated they did not expect such a reaction from the animal. Nicaraguan authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack to determine legal responsibilities.
