Saginaw, MI (November 28, 2023) - Dog attacks in Saginaw leave two people injured, one dog deceased, and animal control officials reminding people to get their pets secured.
Two dog attacks happened on Saturday morning when a woman's dog was attacked by three pit bulls. The owner of the dog under attack grabbed her dog, and the three dogs subsequently turned on her and attacked her. The woman had to go to the hospital for her injuries, while her dog had to be euthanized. Authorities say that about 10 minutes later, another woman was attacked in a nearby neighborhood by the same dogs. An individual driving by came to her aid, and both women were taken to the hospital by EMTs. Even though all 19 pit bulls involved in these attacks have been euthanized, criminal charges against the two owners are still possible. However, an investigation is still ongoing.
Our thoughts go out to the injured women and their loved ones.
Dog bites are serious and should be treated as such. A bite may get infectious, even if the animal doesn't have rabies, leading to serious health issues and expensive treatment. The psychological scars left by a dog bite may be just as lasting. Dog bite victims in Michigan should be aware of their legal rights and options for seeking financial restitution in the event of an attack.
In the event of a severe dog bite, medical treatment should be sought. Infection caused by a dog bite has the potential to be quite dangerous. A dog attack may be quite dangerous and, in some circumstances, even fatal. Bite victims, no matter how slight, should always seek medical attention.
People who have been bitten by dogs often prefer to treat themselves at home. You may do this at home by cleaning the affected region with hot water and soap. This aids in the killing of any microorganisms. However, it may not be enough to prevent the spread of illness; thus, visiting the ER is still recommended. After getting medical assistance for a dog bite, a victim should notify the local health department. If the animal is a stray, this is particularly crucial since strays may spread rabies. If the dog is claimed, the authorities and animal control should be notified. After tracking down the owner, a victim in Michigan has a higher chance of being compensated, though their homeowner's insurance is probably going to cover the incident.
