Dog owners and residents recount violent encounter in El Paso neighborhood

EL PASO, Texas – Two residents in a Lower Valley neighborhood were injured in a violent encounter with two dogs on Wednesday night, prompting concerns about the safety of the area.

According to a resident who prefers to remain anonymous, the same two dogs were responsible for attacking a 10-year-old and a 40-year-old, sending them both to the hospital with injuries. The resident shared a graphic video showing the dogs attacking and killing her family dog, then dragging its lifeless body off-screen. She expressed fears that the dogs might continue their violent behavior by trying to break her fence to get to her other dogs.

The deadly dog attack captured on video occurred in October, and the resident reported the two dogs to Animal Control at that time. However, the authorities were unable to take action because the dogs could not be found. Animal Control later confirmed that they had no report of the initial attack, but the two dogs involved in the recent incident were euthanized.

The incident has raised concerns among residents about the safety of their neighborhood and the effectiveness of Animal Control’s response to aggressive dogs. Authorities have not provided further details about the circumstances surrounding the attack or any previous complaints about the dogs.

In response to the recent attack, residents are calling for increased efforts to address aggressive dogs in the neighborhood to prevent future incidents and ensure the safety of the community. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of loose or aggressive dogs and the importance of responsible pet ownership.
