In the early m�mi�g o�f 3u1y 23, 2{}US I was walk'rng m� dog, a 28 lb. Schna.�zer �ed �, in the
vicinity v# 62 Golfview Drive when I lcx�ked to my left and notieed twa sma�1 dogs and an� �ar�e Pi.t 3ull

Ioosened the Pit Bull's grip several times but it would Iunge again a� Max's neck if I reieased. At �his time I

pulling the dog off �� when I c4u1d get the Pit Bull's jaws to release it's grip on n�y dag. '�he first time the
Pit Buli got away and resum�d it's attack. The second time we a�tempted t4 free Max, Mr. B1�.ckwell yelled
for me to go inside his hause. I pieked up Ma� ran into his hame, and shut the dc�or. To o�t horr6r, �he door
must azat have latc�ed and the Pzt Bull charged ixitv the hvus� tt� cc�ntinue its attack. Ir� pani�, I pzckec� u�
Max and ran out af N3r. Blackburn'� home and toward a friend's home, lUlr. �Iilliam Regan Qf �2 t,�c�Ifview.
Mr. R�gan was outside his front doc�r holding his small dog, a miniature Poadie. After � got inside Mc.

Len has forwarded to me your e-mail re: the pit bull afFair. Your recent
experience is dreadful. I did not think that the Country Club Development
included people so reckless so as to let this kind of a dog run around lose.
The police dept. has my respect but I am disappointed that they need more
then one vicious occurrence to act I am enclosing an article from today's
issus of the Ottawa paper. T'he pit bull dog problem is more frequent then is
generally known. The article did not copy too well, but I hope you may be
able to use it.
I certainly support your efForts to try to get the village council to take
the appropriate action before the dog will pick a child to attack.

A
Do�attack case to go before He said he spoke with the owners of the dog and
grand _')urX
several of the neighbors and said the dog had
bitten more than one person before, but he saw no signs that the dog had been
raised for dog fighting or been involved in dog fighting.
Owner ponald Brewer did tell Crosby that the dog was raised to protect his home,
http: //www. herald-dispatch. com/2005/May/24/LNIi st2. hhn 7/29/2005
Child killed by pit bull's attack buried Page 2 of 3
Crosby said. Brewer toid him that he purchased the dog while he was in the Army -
in Texas, and trained him to protect his wife while he was out on orders.
As af Monday af�emoon, Crosby had not yet talked to a medical examiner ar to ��`
Brittany Fleeman. From what he's learned from others involved, Arianna, Brittany
Fleeman, a 5-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl were at the house, while the
owners were out.
Crosby said he was told the dog first put his paws on the shoulders of the 5-year-
old, but obediently retreated when he was told. Crosby said he suspects that when
the dog approached 2-year-old Arianna, she shrieked and perhaps ran or flailed,
which fikeVy put the dog irrto an aggressive mode.
"Children are small�r, they smeH funny, move quickly and have high voices — that
mimics prey," he said. "It triggers the prey drive, and if iYs a dog that has a strong
prey drive, it wants to capture what it's chasing."
Firefighters who contained the dog described it as extreme4y angry. �ne even used
the word "evil."
Crosby said what they saw was a"large dog in full-blown aggressive mode."
It's not a good idea ta ban an entire breed and punish responsible dog owners and
good dogs, he said.
He said he plans to make finro recommendatians to the Cabell-Huntington Health
Department and the Huntington-Cabell-Wayne Animal Cantrol Shelter. One is that
when a quarantine is placed on an animal for biting someone, that the quarantine
be enforced by keeping the animal detained at animal control. If there's no room,
maybe keep it at a veterinarian's office, but do not let it stay with the owners,
Crosby suggested. There afso should be orciinances for tighter control of these
animals, he said.
Why someone would warrt to have a dog that requires the owner to keep °Beware
of the Dog" signs in the window, Crosby doesn't know, he said.
"Maybe thaYs a sign that something is wrong with the dog," he said. "Qogs should
be companions, friendly and pleasant to be around. If you're worried about your
house, get an alarm."
Crosby said about 20 fatal dog attacks occur nationwide per year, and Arianna's
death marks the 14th fatal attack this year.

Re: VOT Pride
We h�ve owned aur home �t 42 Golfview Driv� since 1987. We have seen our
neighborhood change from mainly retirees to a mixture of young and younger, from
seeing no schoal buses to seeing many. From having no trick-or-treaters to having
dozens.
As our neighborhoads change, sa toa must tl�e laws wluch govern us, particularly the
laws regarding pets. Most of vur neighbors obey the leash law with their dogs fully under
control. However, there is always the exceptivn such as the recent incident of the
runaway dog and atta.ck on Gvlfview Dr. on July 23Z This unfortunate incident
highlights the need for a law which will preveat this tyge of occurrence happening again.
A 1aw �imilar to �h� Dade C�unty Iaw prolubiting keeping Pit Bulls ,and Pit Bull Terrier
Breeds as pets. A law to protect the innocent against the predator.
Why is a l�vv �f this type necessary? Because yau cannat prevent the inadvertent
accident; the unlatched dflor. Since accidents happen, get rid of as much of the danger as
possible by elimina.ting the breeds of the most dangerous dogs.
Please consi�ler this letter as our request for action t¢ protect c�ur neighbors and
neighborhood before a chi�d is the victim.

As our neighborhoods change, so too must the laws wlvch govern us, particularly the

A law similar to the I3ade County 1aw prohibiting keeping Pit Bulls and Pit Bull Terrier
Breeds as pets. A law to protect the innocent against the predator.
Why is a law of this type necessary? Because you cannot prevent the ina,dvertent
accident; the unlatched door. Since accidents happen, get rid of as much of the danger as

The woman whose pit bulls mauled an Elbert
County woman to death was sentenced to six
years in prison Wednesday.

Jackie McCuen pleaded guilty to being
the owner of a dangerous dog, causing
death,
]acqueline McCuen, 33, pleaded guilty earlier to
one of two felonies and two misdemeanors as part
of an agreement with prosecutors to cut her
maximum penalty in half.
Prosecutors said McCuen's three pit bulls escaped
her property and attacked Jennifer Brooke, 40,
last November. Brooke was feeding her horses on
the morning of Nov. 20 when she was so brutally
mauled that not even the baseball bat she had
with her could have saved her from the dogs,
authorities said.
Two other people -- Brooke's husband and her
neighbor -- were also injured before the dogs
were shot and killed.
Neighbors said that McCuen's dogs were
aggressive and always managed to get out around
the neighborhood. The dogs had attacked a jogger
seven months before Brooke's death, prosecutors
said.
Many deputies said that Brooke's mauled body
was one of the most gruesome things they had
ever seen. Eight firemen had to be counseled after � F �� ` ��q���-
they responded to the scene.
PREM2UM
McCuen's boyfriend, William Gladney, is scheduled wEATHER
to go to trial on Jan. 18. TRY IT
