Woman Says Pit Bull Attacked Dog, Then Went After Her

MIDDLEBURG, Fla. -- A Middleburg woman who's five months pregnant is recovering after an attack by two pit bulls believed to be trained fighting dogs.

Clay County deputies said Kayla Treen and her boyfriend were riding their bikes past a neighbor's house in Middleburg with their two dogs when two unleashed pit bulls pounced on the couple and their pets.

The dogs bit Treen on her arms and legs and severely injured her smaller dog, Blaze. The two teens called Treen's father for help, and he arrived with a handgun.

Dale Treen shot the more aggressive pit bull in the head, killing it. Clay County deputies said wounds on the dogs prove the pit bulls appeared to have been trained to fight.

"I was just thinking, 'Thank God my dad showed up,' and I said, ‘Shoot it, shoot it, please,’” Kayla Treen said. “It had my dog in its mouth and it scared me to death.”

"I got up behind it. It tried to bite me, and that's when I shot it," Dale Treen said.

Middleburg residents said this isn't the first time the two pit bulls had been seen running free in the neighborhood. The other pit bull involved in the attack is in quarantine with Clay County Animal Care and Control officers.

The state attorney's office is still reviewing the attack.

Greed. There are money to be made in dog fighting. Also the dogs are used to guard drugs. I would love to see all dog fighting, cock fighting and any animal fighting gone. I would love to see the dog racing and horse racing gone as well. I have often heard that greyhounds too old/weak to race are abandoned.

I agree. I would also like to see stiff fines and perhaps jail time for owners who train their dogs in this manner but fail to supervise them, confine them appropriately to their own property, or take any kind of responsibility for their behavior. It saddens me to see the dogs and the breed bashed--the media does a great job of that--for doing what they have been taught to do while nothing is ever said or done about the owners who are ultimately responsible for this type of incident. Also, if our animal cruelty and endangerment laws had an teeth in them to begin with there would be fewer cases of abandoned grayhounds, and animal fighting.

My goodness.....The dog deserved to be shot to death. Good job by the father.

Huh? It is the owner's fault for training the dogs to fight. He should go to jail for a long time.

My neighbor has three pit bulls. They were unleashed and came out of no where into my yard and grabbed my yorkie. The three dogs mauled him. I tried to get them to let go, but I just couldnt. They should have turned on me. I could have put up more of a fight. It was the worst thing in the world to watch a furry family member get killed and I failed to save him. I rushed him to the animal er but it was too late.

They also killed a golden retriever and hurt a wiener dog.

If a man has at least 3 dogs of the same breed, especially the breeds that are well-known in the dog-fighting biz, it's likely that he's using them for something immoral. By the way, I know someone whose dog got mauled by a Golden Retriever.

TiaMarie · 09-30-2011, 03:02 PM

That's what we think also. There is no need to have 3 unleashed pit bulls in an unfenced yard unless something is going on.

No dog of any breed should be unleashed in an unfenced yard. You're only asking for trouble if you do that.

In our city's news too...2 days ago...2 middle school kids got mauled by a pit bull as they got off the bus....one boy's leg looks really bad...the owner had often left his gate open!...And the bus stop was not very far from it....The bus driver called the police, and now the dogs are in custody....also...a disabled man (who is in a wheelchair)...said that everytime he goes out into his yard, he brings his rifle ...he's scared of the neighbors pit bulls behind their fence trying to attack the fence to get to him....so...3 incidents in all in the past few days!

Never would I have a vicious dog like these...

The question is, why do people keep a dog that is showing signs of violence tendencies? People never learn, if a dog is aggressive, you have to get it trained by a professional or relocate it to somewhere else for their sake and the neighbours' as well.

No dogs should be trained to fight. All dogs are mean to be people best friends! Why train them to fight? Why abuse them? They are just dogs need love.

Im sorry to hear about your dog, TiaMarie. You're very brave.

TiaMarie · 09-30-2011, 07:56 PM

Thank you Tim. I just hope he knows I tried my hardest to save him.

Yes, but the father won't have to save his daughter's life if the dog owner didn't train the dogs to fight in the first place.

I am so very sorry this happened to you. You did everything you could do so now it is time to forgive yourself. I am even more sorry the owner of these dogs did not have the opportunity to spend a very long time in jail to think about what he did wrong. It seems everyone involved in this paid an awful price except the owner who was responsible for it all. People like this make me literally sick.

Before I go to bed, are you sayin' the father is the dog owner? Maybe ya' confused?

No, I am not confused. The dog owner is the neighbor and he trained the dogs to fight in the first place which caused the chain of events. That is why I think the dog owner/neighbor is at the fault. If the dog owner/neighbor didn't train the dogs to fight, the pregnant teen will not be attacked. Got it?

WRONG. The dogs owner deserved to be shot to death. The dogs were simply doing what the owner had taught them to do. In the end, one dog was shot and killed; the other will most likely be euthanized; and the owner will get a slap on the wrist; and more people will be turned against a breed of dog that is simply beautiful IMHO and like most dogs they act on the action's of their owners.

Does this dog look like he is ready to kill you or your dog? He get's along great with small dogs, children, etc, etc.........is very protective of a small child also. Has he ever bit anyone? NO. Would you like to know why? He was raised by a decent human being

That's so sad. I am sorry that happened to your dog.

**Bottesini** · 10-01-2011, 05:01 PM

I used to have a pitbull also, and she was a wonderful dog. I do think it is the fault of the owners.

**shel90** · 10-01-2011, 06:03 PM

My friend has a pitbull puppy and he is extremely hyper and really jumped on my dog from all angles. Everyone blamed the fact that he was a pit bull. I blamed the fact that he was just a very very hyper puppy that needed to be trained. Good thing my friend takes him to obiendience school every Saturdays. So much energy!!!

Babyblue · 10-01-2011, 06:16 PM

Owners that allow their animals attack other people should be charged with assault with a deadly weapon...or Manslaughter.

What I mean by "allow" is not taking the responsibility to keep the animals in control and letting them run loose. Might as well play Russian Roulette.

rockin'robin · 10-01-2011, 07:42 PM

Just read (Yahoo news) where in Conn., a 2 month old baby was mauled and killed by 3 pit bulls inside the house.....

...so the pit bulls were not running loose. Dunno where the parents were at the time of the attack....but leaving a 2 month old around 3 pit bulls....I dunno what to say!

No child should be left alone with a dog of any breed, especially if it's more than one dog.

TRUTH.

Any dog can be vicious, it just depends on how they were raised. I'm sick and tired of people looking down there noses at pitbull's, SERIOUSLY. A person can raise any dog to think its 9 foot tall and bullet proof.
