I couldn't think of a title for this edition of the Frankenmauler Roundup. "Same Shit, Different Day Edition" is accurate--the pit bull crowd is nothing if not consistent--but it lacks the pizzazz I think is necessary to describe these stories of mayhem, narcissism, antisocial behavior, and Jerry Springer buffoonery. Nor does same shit, different day describe the experiences of the victims. It certainly wasn't same shit, different day for them. I am confident that the victims will remember their encounters with these pit bulls and nutters for the rest of their lives (if they lived to tell the tale).
Instead, it's the "Neighbors from Hell, Mutant Mayhem, & Pit Grifters Edition" Discursive, but accurate.
In La Pine, Oregon, a 27 year old mare had to be euthanized after being attacked in a fenced yard by two loose pit bulls, BAILEY (female) and BULLY (male). The horse's owner, Richard Beck, fired a warning shot, but BULLY kept attacking, so Beck shot him. BAILEY fled to her nearby home. The dogs' owner, Tony Maxwell, surrendered BAILEY to animal control and was cited on two counts each of: animal nuisance and killing, wounding, or injuring livestock.
In Deltona, FL Shirley Farina, age 70, suffered injuries while trying to protect her two Yorkies, Casper and Cali, from being mauled to death in their own back yard. Farina heard her dogs screaming outside and found them being attacked by two pit bulls belonging to her neighbor. The pit bulls entered her yard by digging under the shared fence. Farina managed get them off of one of her dogs, but then the pit bulls focused the other Yorkie. She scooped up the little dog to shield it, at which point the pit bulls started to bite her arms. She screamed for help and was aided by a neighbor, Jeff Lamey.
"At first I thought it was a child screaming and then I heard a second scream and it was a scream of terror," Lamey said. "I grabbed two big rocks, jumped the fence, ran over and landed two good shots that broke them loose." The pit bulls stopped their attack and Farina brought her wounded pets inside to help them.

Farina suffered multiple bites to her hard, arm, and neck. Casper and Cali did not survive their injuries. Says Farina: "I've had them since they were babies and they were the love of my life."
The mutants belonged to Farina's neighbor, DEMETRIA BREWER, 24

Sheriff's Deputies confronted BREWER. She refused to give them her name or date of birth and yelled at her boyfriend not answer questions, either. BREWER was arrested on the charge of resisting an officer without violence and booked into the Volusia County Jail. Her pit bulls were taken by animal control to be put down.
Meanwhile, across the pond in Dover UK, Karen McDonald is still mourning the untimely loss of her dog Petal. On Feb 17, the springer spaniel was out for her morning walk with McDonald when they had the bad luck of running into drug abuser and bad actor TROY SMITH and his pit bull SPIKE.
Says McDonald: "I saw this dog come rushing towards us. It went round the back of Petal and started biting her leg. I couldn't do anything. I stood there screaming for help. I didn't know if the dog would go for me. It was absolutely terrifying."
SMITH eventually got SPIKE to release the little dog. Concerned strangers rendered aid and Petal was rushed to the animal hospital. The vet recommended that Petal be put down.
SMITH and SPIKE were later apprehended by authorities in Market Square. Rather than cooperate and make the inevitable consequences as painless as possible, both of them decided to continue being stupid violent assholes. SPIKE (later described by kennel workers as "the most undesirable dog (we) had ever had") bit a PCSO on the thigh before being contained. SMITH, an admitted long-term heroin user, was arrested and bit the finger of a police officer at the police station. He also lied that he was HIV positive.

| howdy, neighbor! |
SMITH, 42, pleaded guilty to assault, affray, violent behavior at a police station and owning a dog dangerously out of control. On March 17 he was sentenced to 12 months in prison at Canterbury Crown Court. SPIKE was dirt napped the day after the attack.
Two people-pleasing nanny dogs went on a rampage in San Mateo back on January 21 (it's old news, but I couldn't resist...your humble correspondent found the story by googling "pit bull rampage").
The officer tried to distract the pit bulls by blowing his air horn. It worked: the dogs turned their attention to him and launched themselves, Cujo-like, against the door.

NEXT UP: Another day, another shelter-adopted pit bull goes canine IED on its new family!
Adopted pibble DON lasted fewer than 72 hours in his loving new home in Northeast Philadelphia. He attacked Nicole Keppol, 33, and both of her children, an 11 year old boy and a 10 year old girl. The mother and daughter were treated at the hospital and released. The son needs reconstructive surgery.
How did this happen? Did Keppol and family just go to the pound to get a dog, and bad luck had them pick the worst of the lot? Where did DON come from?
DON was enrolled in the Pen Pal Program at the Philadelphia Animal Care and Control Team Shelter ("ACCT"). The Pen Pal program's mission strikes me as counterintuitive (but, then, I'm not a pit nutter): they prioritize the adoption of dogs languishing in the shelter system. The dogs that nobody wants to adopt, in other words. The dogs that have been passed over or deliberately rejected in the past by potential adopters.
The dogs in the Pen Pals Program are overwhelmingly pit bulls...and, what's more, they are the unpopular pit bulls.
This is how the Pen Pals Program describes it on their website:
"These “long term homeless visitors” are overlooked for a variety of reasons such as the appearance of being depressed, or exhibiting anxiety that can be off-putting to potential adoptive families. Many are mixed blends of dogs that look like pit bull terriers that suffer from myths and stereotypes that betray their true loving individual personalities! The ACCT Life Saving Department’s Pen Pal Program aims to improve the quality of life for these dogs and prioritize their adoption."

The Pen Pal Program dogs get "life skills coaching" and "enrichment activities" and doggie makeovers. They are photographed with cute new collars. A volunteer writes up a persuasive, appealing new bio for the dog, which is then aggressively marketed to potential adoptive families.
Let's look at what the Pen Pal Program did for it's star graduate DON:

Here's DON in his loving new home, before the attack: "He's a happy dog and we are lucky to have him as part of our family," writes victim Nicole Keppol. "Don is doing wonderfully."

Here's the news video about the attack. DON's behind bars:
Nicole Keppol's facebook has been silent about DON since the attack. I'm with Dawn: I hope it's because her lawyer is telling her to keep quiet.
Shortly after 9:30 AM, police received a call from a "frantic" male who reported being menaced by two large aggressive pit bulls, each weighing between 55 lbs and 75 lbs. Police drove to the scene and along the way their radio blew up again: three more people called to report that the dogs were chasing people, including a city sanitation worker.
The first officer to arrive on the scene followed the mutants in his car until they ran into a yard and attacked a landscaper, who used his leaf blower to fend them off.

The officer tried to distract the pit bulls by blowing his air horn. It worked: the dogs turned their attention to him and launched themselves, Cujo-like, against the door.
The pit bulls ran in the direction of a local high school, prompting dispatchers to alert school officials to keep the students inside. Backup officers arrived and the police pursued the dogs, who then charged a woman pushing two children in a stroller. Again, police distracted the animals with an air horn, but when the dogs changed direction towards a school for disabled children, an officer gave up trying to corner them and rammed them both with his car.
One ugly mutant died instantly. The other one decided that the party was OVER and fled for its home, located nearby. Animal control officers came to the residence and captured the pit bull with the help of its dipshit owner. While police were at the resident trying to get the dog, they were alerted to ANOTHER woman who'd been bitten by both dogs before the first report. She suffered puncture wounds to her legs and biceps and was treated at the scene.
Police describe the dipshit owner(s) as "cooperative and remorseful," according to a local reporter.
I could not discover whether the owner(s) were charged. Nor could I learn what happened to the surviving pit bull.
It was nanny dog mayhem redux in Stockton CA on March 13, when two pit bulls led police on a merry chase in the downtown area after attacking two men and killing a cat. The first victim suffered bites to his hand. The second man was attacked near city hall and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment, where he was then released.
Police and animal control chased the dogs for several blocks. When the pit bulls moved towards one officer, the officer fired at one dog named HAZEL, injuring it in the leg. The pit bulls ran and were taken into custody nearby.
Meet the owner: pit nutter ROBERT HOUTZ. HOUTZ came forward to claim his maulers and was allowed to take Hazel to an animal hospital.
You can see an interview with Houtz at this link. Despite considerable evidence to the contrary, Houtz denies that his maulers are vicious: "It's not the breed. It's the owners and how you train them. They are not vicious. I didn't train them that way." I have no idea how Houtz explains the dead cat and two dog bite victims. Maybe the victims hallucinated their injuries.
HOUTZ was allowed to take his injured pit bull, HAZEL, to the animal hospital. Incredibly, Stockton Animal Control returned MONEY, his other dog. Houtz claims that Money is a service animal.
This asshole assumes no personal responsibility whatsoever (and why should he, given that Stockton police say he faces no charges?). He claims his mutants could not have climbed the fence and that "someone must have let them out." He claims that his dogs are not vicious, despite the fact that they just attacked two members of the community ("My animals are innocent," he says, on camera).
But Houtz's neighbors can rest easy: when Money was returned to Houtz, animal control came by to check that the fences were secure. They gave Houtz a stern talking to, according to Joe Silva, a police spokesman: "They told him what the consequences would be if the dogs got out again."
I got into more trouble than Houtz when I failed to return the license plates after selling my car.
Now, please allow me to introduce DAVID WUICH of Fox River Grove, Illinois. Wuich was recently featured in his local paper, the Northwest Herald. Here's his picture:

Hmmm, what's wrong with that, you wonder! Just a guy walking his dogs! Those pit bulls might be bad news waiting to happen, but maybe Wuich is a decent person, you know, the naive variety of pit nutter.
Nope. DAVID WUICH is not just bad news waiting to happen.
He's already happened. To multiple people. More than once.
In 2007, Cristina Orton and her lab, Sammy, were the victim of a home invasion. (Readers of Craven Desires will know that home invasion attacks are a pit bull hallmark: unlike other dogs, these ugly maulers actually go inside the homes of strangers looking for prey. It's fucking heinous, is what it is). It was like a scene from a horror movie: she was putting groceries away when a pit bull broke through her patio screen and attacked Sammy. Sammy survived, with 22 staples in his head and dozens of stitches.
The "Avon calling!" pit bull was named SHADY, and he was owned by a young pit nutter named DAVID WUICH.
Wuich put Shady to sleep after he couldn't find a rescue to take the dog (a miracle!).
David Wuich is a bad neighbor with an extensive criminal record. He has been committing crimes his entire adult life and he is not mellowing with age: his most recent charges are FELONY assault and harassment.
