“A couple of friends listened to the voicemail,” she said. “He said he was so sorry (and) wanted to know what he could do. … There isn’t anything he could do for me. I’m going to seek damages.”

The pit bull owner said he’s just trying to resolve the issue and help both parties put the incident behind them so his pit bulls can live. He declined to say how the dogs got out but said the problem has been fixed. He said he’s concerned about retaliation from people who dislike the breed. And he contends that based on reports to the Humane Society, it’s not even clear how the fight between the dogs got started or which dogs were the aggressors.

“They can’t tell me who started it,” the owner said. “It’s not clear how everything started. ... I’m not putting any dogs at fault. Nobody’s fully seen how it started.”

The pit bull owner said his dogs “have no history whatsoever of being violent.” One is only a six-month old puppy, he said. And he said his dogs were affectionate and loving when the Humane Society visited his home after the Oct. 15 encounter. It was not clear how or why they were loose on the day of the attack.

“Trying to place the blame on my dogs, that don’t have a history of violence, is not OK.”
