WEST PARK, FLA. (WSVN) - A man was attacked by three dogs while walking in West Park, making this the third dog attack in recent weeks.
The vicious attack happened as the unidentified man strolled along Southwest 58th Avenue and 38th Street, Monday afternoon.
Surveillance video shows the man jumping on a utility box and then climbing a palm tree in a effort to escape but both of those methods were unsuccessful and the animals kept gnawing at the the man’s arms and legs as he fell to the ground.
The man was even heard yelling out in agony at point, while the pack of canines’ louds barks echoed throughout the neighborhood.
One resident watched the ordeal unfold on his ring camera and rushed home to the victim’s aid.
“His leg was bloody. I didn’t realized it was that bad, said Alberto Dominguez.
Paramedics arrived at the scene and transported the victim to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He was bloody but conscious, according to neighbors.
The pet owners did eventually come to retrieved the animals, but neighbors describe them as “viscous” and say they often crawl out from a hole in their yard.
“A neighbor told me that they get out because there’s a hole underneath so its very irresponsible of someone knowing that their dog are vicious and they don’t take care of them by keeping them indoors,” said Dominguez.
It appears it isn’t the first time the trio of dogs have gone on the attack. Surveillance video from July 14 in the same West Park neighborhood shows the dogs attacking area resident Juan Echevarria.
“They are aggressive. They are supposed to be taken away when that happened to me,” said neighbor Juan Echevarria. Three dogs, pit bulls, came to attack me. I was pushing them back to keep them away from me.”
He said in an attempt to stay unharmed, he shooed the dogs away, but was unsuccessful.
“I fell on my back and I damaged my wrist,” said Echevarria.
He said he reported the attack to authorities, but was disheartened to learn about the most recent attack by the same dogs.
Broward County Animal Care were called to retrieve the canines.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the three dogs have been euthanized.
In a statement, Broward County Animal Care said “The owner’s boyfriend voluntarily relinquished all three dogs to animal care custody. The dogs have been humanely euthanized.”
Monday’s attack in West Park marks the third dog attack within a week in Broward County.
Two young children were recently attacked by dogs, one in Margate and another in Fort Lauderdale. Both victims were taken to the hospital with serious injuries but only in one of those instances were the dogs euthanized.
Now community members are calling on pet owners to take responsibility before someone else gets hurt.
“I just feel that it’s irresponsible people not controlling their dogs. I knew those dogs were vicious, take care of them,” said Dominguez.
The man suffered non-life threatening injuries. His current condition is unknown.
Officials say residents should contact their local animal care office for guidance, advice and potentially give them up for adoption if they feel as if they are losing control over their animal at home.
