OILDALE, Calif. -- An Oildale man is recovering in the hospital after being attacked by two pit bulls. The attack happened around dusk Thursday night at a home in the 500 block of Wisteria Street.
Family members who witnessed the attacked told ABC 23 that 29 year-old Luis Luque was attacked unprovoked by two pit bulls. According to Luque's girlfriend, he had been to that home many times before to talk to the residents who live there and nothing ever happened with the dogs.
"He just walked up to the door and knocked. They opened the door and one of the dogs went after his leg. Luis knocked off the dog from his leg, and that's when the other pit attacked his face and I started to scream," said Victoria Flye.
Dr. Vip Dev, a local plastic and reconstructive surgeon got the call to do the emergency surgery late Thursday. Luque had extensive reconstructive surgery done to his face, nose and lips as a result of the attack.
The attacked happened in front of Flye and Luque's daughter who said they are now dealing with the emotional scars. What makes matters worse for the family is that they don't have medical insurance.
Dev said he is not going to charge the family for his services to repair Luque's face, which would have cost more than $10,000.
Pit bulls are yet another reason for the right to bear arms.
Pit bulls are such lovely pets, aren’t they? /s
my co-worker owns the friendliest pit-bull you can imagine...
last week he was attacked by a pack of 4 unsupervised “wild” pit bulls. my friend’s dog is so innocent it doesn’t even fight back. :(
he’s going to be okay, his wounds are healing quickly and so far hasn’t shown any major red-flag signs of psychological trauma.
I’m sure this reporter is mistaken....surely it was a Golden Retriever....I’ve never heard of a Pit Bull engaged in such violent behavior against a human being...sigh.
Bush’s fault.
That's not very much...can't be too serious. It costs $600 to have a wart removed with a little spritz of nitrogen.
Ohio lawmakers seek to remove ‘vicious’ pit bull designation

cute! FKMOTDW!
How come you never hear child mauled by Golden Retriever?
Cute now but in another couple of years they’ll rip your face off.
As opposed to, say, a politician? I’ll take my chances with a pitbull.

Good on the Doc...
There was one case involving a Golden from several years back. The pit bull defenders like to post that one over and over and over.
That's because they've been going after senior citizens this weekend...
Wow
I’m sure Charles Manson, Osama Bin Laden, Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer were cute when they were babies, too.
>>>How come you never hear child mauled by Golden Retriever?<<<
Isn’t it obvious? As any Pit Bull lover on FR will tell you, it is because those diabolical Golden Retrievers, Yorkies, Labs, Corgis and Beagles dress up in Pit Bull costumes when they do their maulings.
