This website is not against dogs or their owners. But, this site is:

Against people allowing their dogs a chance to harm other people

Against the dogs trained to harm people

Against people mistreating their dogs so they’re more inclined to harm people

For better legal protection and better enforcement of the laws intended to protect people from the vicious dogs or those using or allowing the vicious dogs to harm people. Owners whose dog attacks and mauls or kills people are very seldom prosecuted, or when they are they are just given a slap on the hand or small fine. Very few vicious dog owners receive jail time in Oklahoma. And the victims of vicious dog attacks most of the time are stuck with the medical bills and/or funeral expenses.

04/22/19 El Reno - Since my dog bite has been the topic at many Town Council Meetings and I have had numerous people ask what happened I’m going to show my bites here and tell my story. On April 22, 2019 my partner and I were carrying the trash out of the station and one of the PD officers whom I consider a friend called me over to the PD to get a piece of equipment that I could use in my medical bag for my K9 medic bag, (I had just completed a K9 medic class in Las Vegas so I can treat K9’s in field) he handed his dog off to one of the other officers and got the equipment. I took the equipment out of the bag and told him that it probably was too big for dogs snout but we can use it for our training at our station and put back it back in the bag, at that time the dog wanted to smell what I had so I asked permission he said yes, the dog smelled it, I stepped back and suddenly the dog lunged at me and was attached to my face, the officers got him off me but he lunged again at my face and got my left arm. I got away and got up to the station where my partner got me in the ambulance and they called for Ray. I was taken to two different hospitals that night the second where I had plastic surgery. I still have pain in my face and the possibility of more surgery due to scar tissue. I also have night terrors and have anxiety and am blessed that I have Harvey because he wakes me when I’m having these night terrors. I also have nerve damage to my left arm from the bite which was why we pressed the insurance company in July of 2019 because I needed physical therapy and was told she didn’t know if they would pay because they didn’t know if it was their responsibility and to keep using my personal insurance who was questioning all the charges. We waited til November to hear back. With mounting bills we had no choice. I still consider the officers my friends but had to get this taken care of. (CLICK HERE)

7/19/17 Oklahoma City - Hi Butch, I had a unique experience this morning. I was out walking early to beat the heat. I could see this woman coming up the street. She was running. I didn't think too much about it until I saw why she was running – dogs were chasing her. She was even trying to run backwards to see how close they were to her and almost fell. She saw mw and started running towards me. When the dogs saw me and my big head thumper they retreated. I had her call 911 and ask for police assistance. She was too nervous to talk to the dispatcher so I got her phone and told them we needed police NOW. In a few minutes, four police units showed up. I guess because of the woman that was killed here a few months ago Talking to this one officer. He could tell that I was ticked off about what happened. I showed him a picture on my cell phone of what a pit bull had done to me a few years back and that I wasn't going to be intimidated by dogs when I am out walking. I told him that I guess that there were several options for me. First I try my head thumper stick (club), then pepper spray, then my knife and as a last resort a Glock. He sure gave me a look. After five attacks and two trips to an ER, I am quite serious about not letting it happen again. I knew how scared that Hispanic woman was this morning.

9/27/16 - Oklahoma City - Around 12:15pm, I went for a walk with my 10 year old female border collie in the 15800 block of Drew Drive in Oklahoma City. This is only a few blocks from my house.

A female pitbull/mastiff mix dog rushed towards us from the yard of 15813 Drew Drive. It was one of five similar dogs at this location. The other four dogs were chained up outside the house.

The pitbull lunged towards us and gripped its teeth on my dog's hip, ripping and tearing her skin in shreds. I was hanging on to my dog by her collar to keep from losing her to the pitbull. It was shaking its head and pulling hard enough on my dog until it pulled me down with her to the ground with my dog. I cradled my dog and tried to cover her with my body. We were attacked over and over by this dog for no reason! The dog bit me several times about my face and on on both of my forearms.

Without hesitation, a 21 year old female ran barefoot towards us from her house which was located a few acres down the road. She grabbed a PVC pipe from near her house as she ran towards us. She ran up to the dog and hit it several times with the pipe until it turned loose. She kept swinging the pipe to keep the dog away as it kept charging towards me and my dog while we were still on the ground and bleeding profusely.

The young lady's sister-in-law also assisted us by calling 911. She got in her car and drove to where I was on the ground with my dog. She drove right between us and the pitbull. We climbed into the back seat of her car as she drove us to safety.

The two young ladies saved our lives!

I live in a rural part of eastern Oklahoma City near Arcadia Lake. It took Police nearly 30 minutes to arrive. EMSA never made it. As we were driving to the hospital, we saw EMSA parked on the road several miles away. We stopped and asked if they were looking for us. They said they were but dispatch told them cancel their call because we were on our way to the hospital in a personal vehicle. We told them they were too late and we would seek our own medical treatment. That's why there never was a police report and no one even knows what happened.

I was never so scared as I was when I was forced to the ground and being attacked by this vicious dog! I am so thankful to be alive today thanks to my new found Angels, Tracy and Heart Holshouser. -Reported by Trela Wishon

10/18/14 Ardmore - Foiled Dog Attack: "Hi Butch, long time -- My dog attack adventure may be of interest -- I'm 90 & need to walk mornings. Now & then I passed three big dogs chained in front yard barking furiously. Few weeks ago, same house a tiny little dog half the size of a house cat, yapping at my feet. Trying to avoid it, I saw one of the big dogs, free, headed for me. Lucky I had my spring steel walking stick, cut from a golf club. Big dog about to take hold of my left leg, I gave him my best stroke with my stick. That changed his mind. I walked on, thinking lucky I had my stick & saw the attack coming & lucky it was me instead of some little old lady or small child being attacked. Got home, called police, Animal Control Officer came out, took my report, saying he would talk with dog's owner. Now, weeks later, the dogs sometimes still there but don't bark much at me. Makes me wonder if dogs learned a lesson, maybe drugged by owner or just got used to seeing me but still a menace in my opinion. These are like Alaska sled dogs, maybe 100 pound size" -Bob McCrory

03/13/13 Ardmore - "Well Butch, I know I'm preaching to the choir talking to you, but I was bit by a dog last Wednesday night. It was running loose and I was walking down the middle of the street. Thankfully it was a little Jack Russell type dog. All it did was break the skin, however because it was bleeding I wanted to make sure it had it's shots. Wouldn't you know it the lady that owned it said it was a stray dog she had taken in and she had no idea whether it had it's shots or not. The police officer said "you just need to keep it quarantined for 2-3 days and make sure it doesn't foam at the mouth or nothing like that," which I was pretty sure was contrary to state law and it is. State law according to Ok. Health Dept. is that any dog that you can't prove has had it's shots has to be kept at a vet for 10 days. The dog was picked up by animal control and taken to the vet the next day. I post all of this to say once again PEOPLE BE RESPONSIBLE WITH YOUR ANIMALS. I posted this on your site because I know this is a pet peeve with you & you have lots of friends. What irresponsible pet owners also can't seem to get through their thick skulls is that they are responsible for any damages/medical bills, lost income etc. that their pet does. Just a trip to the E.R. could get very expensive for them if FIDO is allowed to roam and he bites someone causes a wreck etc. This is the 2nd time since 2009 a dog has bit me and one run under the wheel on my bike and caused me to wreck in 2007. When are people going to learn. Thanks for letting me rant." -Phillip Capshaw

Tabitha is now 19 years old and her brother is 18. She is Tabitha's baby, the beloved famil...y pet. Tabitha was out of the house with her mother... her 18 year old brother was home with his father and girlfriend. Spencer was playing games with his girlfriend in the kitchen. The pit bull walked in the kitchen and unprovoked, attacked his girlfriend. Spencer (raised around this family's beloved baby for 6 years) pulled the dog off her with his father's help. The girlfriend suffered 60 stitches... Spencer spent 2 nights in the hospital after surgery to remove the 2 (count them... 2) teeth from his leg. His dad had multiple bite wounds and stitches as well. This sweet, loving, "baby" attacked two of her family members with no warning, unprovoked. They are in shock... when the police and ambulance arrived, the dog was scratching, clawing, and fighting at the back door to get back in the house. This dog couldn't have been raised in a kinder household since it was a teeny tiny puppy. Wow."

04/13/12 Marietta - Teen bitten by vicious dog - The Marietta Monitor

A 15-year-old Marietta student is recovering from a traumatic experience with a dog. When walking her usual route home down South 7th Street, the teen was surprised when a dog rounded the corner of a house and viciously approached her. Comments from family members on a Facebook® post state that the dog, a pit bull, attacked her and bit her on her calf. Statements read that she hit the dog to get it off her leg. Her cries for help prompted other children, who were also walking home, to come to her aid and attempt to keep the dog away once it released its grip. The time was approximately 3:12 p.m. when a call was made for law enforcement to respond to the scene. Incident reports from the Marietta Police Department indicate that a Sheriff's Department reserve officer was the first to arrive on the scene, followed by a Marietta Police Officer and two other Sheriff's Deputies. Medics were paged to the location to assist the girl with bites on her leg where puncture wounds were apparent. Armed with a shotgun, the Reserve Deputy proceeded around the house of the owners of the animal. The Marietta officer followed with a taser. One dog was safely caged in a kennel, the other dog darted from around the house and charged at the two officers. Seeing the dog had its teeth barred and was charging fast, one shot was fired from the shotgun, but it did not stop the animal. Upon the second shot, the dog fell over approximately half a foot from the Reserve Deputy. The vicious dog had been kept on a large chain in the back yard of the home. The yard was not fenced. It was reported the owner of the animal had plans that afternoon to purchase a second kennel in which to secure the dog. Officers did not identify any way the dog would have gotten off the chain, concluding that someone must have let the dog loose. No vaccination records could be provided for the animal. The owners reported they completed their own vaccinations and no records were available through a veterinarian. A citation was issued to the owners for allowing an animal to run at large. The name of the juvenile was not released by law enforcement, but her wounds were wrapped at the scene and she was transported from the scene by private vehicle to be treated at the local hospital. Animal control was contacted for the dog. Its remains were taken to Westwood Veterinary Hospital in Ardmore, where the head was removed so it could be sent to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for testing.

02/09/08 Pauls Valley - Pit Bull Attack Renews Debate Over Vicious Animals. State Prohibits Breed-Specific Laws. A pit bull attack last week has galvanized a local group of citizens who want to see pit bulls banned from Pauls Valley. Doris Belicek was walking her small dog, Rufus, when three pit bulls snatched him from her. Belicek attempted to rescue Rufus but retreated when one of the pit bulls became aggressive toward her. Police officers responded and found the dogs with one of them still carrying Rufus. The pit bulls were owned by Sabrina Briley, who has been cited for having loose dogs before. The officers retrieved Rufus and returned his body to Belicek. The incident has brought Martin and others in the community together to ban pit bulls. "We’re going to do whatever it takes to get these dogs out of our town," Martin said. "They are vicious animals and no one is really safe as long as they are in our community."
