It just occurs to me that tomorrow, January 26th, will be the 10th anniversary of the fatal mauling of Diane Alexis Whipple by the two Presa Canario dogs Bane and Hera in San Francisco.
Stazy, update?
As I remember it, they were batshit crazy and responsible for that death - lack of control over their dogs.
Any ideas on how to make a dog more ball-happy? I had a male who would do anything for his toys: I'd hang them from a tree and tell him to jump for them; I'd hide them in a bush and tell him to find them. He'd also return naturally.
Concerning the San Francisco Presa case, I will concede that Noel and Knoller were weird and creepy people. That doesn't make them murderers. A few points: the attack on Diane Whipple sounds like some sort of Sudden Onset Rage syndrome on the part of Bane, the principal attacker. Hera seems only to have been involved peripherally in the attack, which is why Noel and Knoller, foolishly no doubt, fought to save her. There was a lot of temperamental instability upline from Bane that N&K had no way of knowing about. Bear in mind, too, that they had only had Bane for 4 1/2 months when the attack occurred. They had made good-faith efforts to socialize the dogs, having them ride on public transport and taking them to outdoor cafes and such with no unpleasant incidents.
Murder? No. Is that what they were convicted of?
