CLAYTON – A 32 year-old woman was hospitalized with severe lacerations after being attacked by two dogs. Clayton Police and Clayton Animal Control are currently investigating the incident.

Police Chief Greg Tart said the victim, who is employed by a Wake County pet waste removal service, was at the residence to perform a service. The victim texted the dog owner upon arrival then entered the fenced-in backyard area.
Two lab-pit bull mix dogs were in the backyard and bit the victim on her hands and legs causing severe lacerations, Chief Tart said.
The owner of the dogs came out and grabbed the animals. The victim was able to jump the fence and get out of the yard, according to police.
The victim was transported by Johnston County EMS to UNC Johnston Health in Clayton for treatment. At last report, no charges had been filed.
Pit bull/Pit Mixes? Well…. you don’t say! Sorry, but when you choose a breed that was bred to fight and be aggressive you get an aggressive dog. It’s NOT how they are raised, that’s a bunch of BS. They are genetically what they are and one day those genetics will probably show themselves. Yes, I know your sweet little fur baby would never hurt a flea. They might not for many years, Right up until they do that is. If you choose to have this breed you need to take responsibility for your choices.
Not sure where you get your data, but according to the (many) studies and research coming from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) and AKC (American Kennel Club) and AVSAB (American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior) and National Canine Research Council, it *is not* a dog’s breed that determines whether it will bite, but rather the dog’s individual history and behavior. But many people nowadays don’t bother with actual science or studies and prefer to make their own choices based on something other than science and data.
Pit bulls are not genetically “aggressive”. H*ll I’ve seen more vicious chihuahuas than I have pits. Get off your high horse of ignorance.
cringe 😬…
Kitties Perros such a dumd@ss response! I have raised Pits and deal with them on a daily basis and YES my dear IT IS HOW THEY ARE RAISED! Do your homework before you open your mouth ~ I have a Chiweenie that is more aggressive than any of my pits. It’s people like you that give this breed a bad name. I’m NOT saying Pits won’t bite but ANY dog or cat for that matter will BITE … Children will bite but, do you classify them as “dangerous”???
