When people buy dogs to have as a pet, they usually assume that they will
be friendly, loving, and protect their home from harm. Dogs can be pictured
as play time buddies for the children, or feet warmers on a cold winter’s
night. Owners don’t tend to worry that their lives will be at risk
when they take a dog home. Those who believe in saving animals from shelters
tend to be a little more risky, dogs may have a hard background which
can cause irrational behavior due to fear, usually by their previous owners
beatings or abandonments.
Rebecca Carey, 23, was one of those people who believed in rescuing dogs,
and welcoming them into her home. She tragically died last weekend after
undergoing multiple
dog bite wounds. As a result of her death, five dogs that she took home and another
friends dog were euthanized because of fear that the dogs if let alone
would hurt or kill again. Carey was found in her home with multiple dog
bites covering her throat and torso. What shocks so many is that this
young woman was a dog trainer with experience taking care of animals and
training them to be mature and listen well. Carey’s friend who found
her body shares that while she strongly believed in saving animals, she
would never take in a dog that could be a possible threat to the wellbeing
of others.
Examiners believe that while these dogs showed no signs of violence, they
most likely got into a fight with one another and the moment Carey attempted
to interfere her life was taken. Do you know someone that was attacked
by a dog? In the event that a dog attacks and it is due to the negligence
of the dog’s owner, the victim has the right to file a lawsuit for
their pain and suffering. At
