Pit Bull Dog Bite Attack Victim Has Foot Amputated After Severe Bites

January 18, 2012 - According to reports a man attacked by dogs had his foot amputated, due to the severity of the attack. According to dog bite attack victim Joseph Finley, he was doing a morning run when the dog bite attack occurred. Finley said he was jogging at Rainbow Beach and on his third lap, when he saw the two pit bulls.

Finley age 62 said that when he saw them he didn’t know if they were violent or not and did not know how to handle the situation. Then the dog bite victim said he heard them growling and barking, which made him move faster and then they attacked.

Finley says he knew if he let them knock him to the ground he was in trouble. He remembers the dogs biting at his leg and foot and he knew he could not let them near his throat.

The dog bite victims says the dogs were in full attack mode and were trained killers.
Findley said he finally heard police arrive and attempt to chase the dogs, but knew that would not be enough. The officers ended up shooting the dogs, with Finley saying he heard four or five shots.

Finley was transported to Stronger Hospital, where doctors had to amputate his foot, due to the damage from the dog bite attack.
