Is it the owner or the dog’s fault? Are there “bad races” and “good races”? These and many more are the questions that arise when these – sometimes even fatal – cases of assault from pets.
Nobody has the right answer. Indeed, in the face of each of these so episodes as violent as they are shocking defenders and enemies of animals seem to express their opinion. And I never agree.
This is one of those controversial cases; one in which a dog attacked his master and the statements he made later have raised dispute.

Chase, the killer dog?
Stefania Jones was bitten at least 25 times from Chase, his six-month-old American bully. For this the 32-year-old woman had to be hospitalized, she suffered multiple infections, contracted bacterial cellulitis and he lost part of his arms.
Although he had to “put the animal to sleep”, he declares himself a dog lover, he still has such a puppy and ensures that “the race is not dangerous”. In fact, she reported, she allows her three young children to get close to the animal The mirror.
In this regard, Stephanie, who lives in Swansea, UK, did a my bad and admitted it she should have heeded the warnings when she bought the dog that mutilated her.
A series of errors
It all started in April 2021 when she posted on Snapchat asking if anyone had a champagne colored Bully to buy.

Soon after he contacted a breeder and went to get the puppy, after paying a few $ 3,700– which at that time had approx 10 weeks. Strangely, entry to the hatchery was deniedso he couldn’t even meet his parents.
“He approached me, who was in the car, passed the puppy through the window and promised to ship all the paperwork. I have never received anything. I have learned my lesson“, said the woman in dialogue with the British media.
On its first night in the house, the animal had some sort of convulsionso he had to have him checked by a vet urgently.
When he sent the breeder a video showing this episode, the breeder simply offered “change the puppy”. Something she refused.
It was at that time that he began to hear more rumors about the breeder. Among other things, that crossed dogs of the same litter. Many even claimed that she did not have a license to breed.
“He sent me threatening voice calls and voice messages saying that if I ever told anyone about him, he knew where I live,” said Stephanie.
The attack
Months later, and out of the blue, Chase suddenly attacked Lolathe Caviler King Charles Spaniel of the family. From then on, the two dogs had to be kept apart.
Then in August attacked Cookie, the other Bully of the house, who was about 18 months old. This last episode happened in front of Stephanie’s children, who are four, five and seven years old.

It was there that the woman entered and grabbed him by the neck. “He went crazyhe bit me 25 times in his arms, ”he described.
And he added: “I had to be treated in the hospital. I had both arms badly injured, then I also had cellulite while I was hospitalized “.
Stephanie explained in the dialogue with mirror, That Cookie had just wanted to protect the children. during the attack and got between them and the aggressive dog.
“I really think when there are these dogs that aren’t wired properly, it’s because of the upbringing and the way people raise them,” he said.
“I have raised both dogs equally and if the whole breed had been a danger, surely my other dog would have become a danger toobut he didn’t. ”

According to the woman, people are “surprised” that she stayed with Cookie after the assault, but she insists: “I can’t judge them all by the same standard. Cookie is – literally – my best friend. If I’ve thought anything negative. about her, I would not let her near my children“.
“If there is anyone who should be against the Bullies, it should be me after what they did to me. But they are not all the same“.
