5 dogs euthanized after attack in Fort Lauderdale <\/p>\n
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 A Fort Lauderdale man is heartbroken after his five pit bull-mix dogs were euthanized by Broward County Animal Care following a chaotic incident that left a woman and her dog injured.<\/p>\n
Renex Dorvil, the dogs\u2019 owner, said the situation unfolded after a neighbor\u2019s dog approached his fenced yard and began scratching at the fence. He believes that triggered his dogs to escape.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt some point, four of the dogs got out \u2014 and things got chaotic,\u201d Dorvil said.<\/p>\n
Dorvil wasn\u2019t home at the time of the incident but received a call Monday morning while at work alerting him that his dogs were involved in a fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the other dog did not come to the fence, that would not have happened,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to Broward County Animal Care, officials responded to assist Fort Lauderdale police around 7:45 a.m. Officers managed to contain three of Dorvil\u2019s dogs, but reported that four of the five displayed aggressive behavior. Two had to be tased by police.<\/p>\n
Though the dogs had never shown aggression at home, Dorvil said he made the painful decision to surrender all five, fearing they could hurt someone else in the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dogs are not aggressive with somebody in the house. Never a problem with us,\u201d he said. \u201cI miss them because I love them. Those dogs were like family to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite his grief, Dorvil said his thoughts are with the woman who was injured.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot talk to her. I cannot see her. That hurts me \u2014 for that old lady who got hurt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The sixth dog involved in the incident belonged to the victim, who took her pet to a veterinarian for treatment. Dorvil was cited for each of his five dogs.<\/p>\n
