A Detroit man who was mauled by three dogs as he walked home from a bus stop has died from his injuries.
Harold Phillips, a 35-year-old father, died Friday evening, four days after he was attacked by the dogs as he walked to his house from a bus stop, his wife said.
Detroit Animal Control and Care explained how the three dogs got out of a fenced yard and viciously attacked him. Phillips was hospitalized following the attack and had to have his right arm amputated but things went from bad to worse.
The three dogs owner, Roy Goodman, has been fined $5,000 for not following city's ordinance and failing to secure the animals, WWJ reported. "To the Phillips family, I'm so sorry," Roy Goodman told WXYZ.
In 2021, one of the dogs belonging to the Goodmans bit a child, according to Detroit Animal Care and Control. Court records then detail how in January 2021, Goodman was charged with failing to prevent an animal from engaging in nuisance/menacing behavior, a misdemeanor.
He pleaded guilty at the time but the case was dismissed.

What were the dogs doing walking home from the bus stop?
Why are dogs riding the bus?
How did they know the dogs were walking home?
Seems to be a lot of that going around in dim environs.
Dogs of Peace. The Islamist breed of dogs.
Well, I guess that makes it all OK
Really? Jokes?
Poor man - and he had a lovely looking family. My heart goes out to his wife. Frankly, the dog owner should do time in jail for this.
How can it be only a misdemeanor when a vicious dangerous dog bites a child ???
If those three dogs haven’t yet been destroyed, maybe they should be sicced onto that delinquent Editor for crimes of improperly diagrammed sentences!
Is the dog owner now open to manslaughter charges?
What were the dogs doing on the bus?
Let me guess—a golden retriever, a labrador and a cocker spaniel.
He, and his ilk, should be locked in a cage full of hungry pitbulls. It should be televised.
Such dishonesty and deceit.
The breed(s) of the dogs is likely perfectly clear.
Perhaps we will learn at some time?
That's mighty nice of you. Now how about supporting the man's wife and children for the rest of their lives?
Or the state could file charges of manslaughter against you.
“I’m so sorry”
He apologized. Time to move on.
Very sad. Prayers for them.
I heard on the radio that they had been "humanely euthanized".
A man on a bicycle was killed by dogs in the next town over last week.
