<\/p>\nA Brooklyn couple says their French bulldog is recovering from serious injuries after being mauled by a neighbor’s dogs.<\/p>\n
Residents of the same Coney Island apartment building say it’s not the first time the dogs have attacked someone else’s pet.<\/p>\n
French bulldog suffered lacerations, dislocated shoulder, eye injury<\/p>\n
Diane and Derrick Bradley said their 3-year-old French bulldog named “Calypso” was attacked Sunday morning in the vestibule of their apartment building on West 29th Street between Mermaid and Surf avenues.<\/p>\n
“Two pit bulls charged into the door and grabbed Calypso and had her head in one of them’s mouth,” Diane Bradley said.<\/p>\n
She said she was screaming, Calypso went limp and she fainted, and then someone went and got her husband.<\/p>\n
“The spirit came over me. I grab his dog and pull the biggest one outside,” Derrick Bradley said.<\/p>\n
He said by the time he got that dog outside, the dogs’ owner was finally able to hand Calypso over.<\/p>\n
“He was busy punching his dog like crazy,” Derrick Bradley said.<\/p>\n
The police were called, and a report was filed.<\/p>\n
Calypso suffered lacerations and a dislocated shoulder. She got stitches and is now recovering, but the Bradleys say she could potentially lose her eye.<\/p>\n
“She’s our baby. She’s part of our family,” Diane Bradley said.<\/p>\n
“I love her. She’s everything,” Derrick Bradley said.<\/p>\n

Diane and Derrick Bradley said their 3-year-old French bulldog named “Calypso” was attacked by a neighbor’s dogs on Nov. 9, 2025, in the vestibule of their Coney Island apartment building.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think he should be a dog owner anymore”<\/p>\n
Neighbor Leshia Palmer said her dog, Milo, was attacked by the same dogs back in May.<\/p>\n
“He was bit on the neck, the belly, the back and one more place,” she said.<\/p>\n
Palmer said a month after Milo was attacked, the same dogs attacked and killed a friend’s dog.<\/p>\n
Both the Bradleys and Palmer were left with large vet bills.<\/p>\n
CBS News New York’s Alice Gainer tried to contact the owner of the dogs, but he did not answer when she went to his apartment.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think he should be a dog owner anymore at this point,” Palmer said. “He told me he would get muzzles for the dogs and everything. He still hasn’t done a thing.”<\/p>\n
Residents are especially concerned since there is a Y location next door to the apartment building and a school nearby.<\/p>\n
Building management told CBS News New York in a statement, “The safety and well-being of our residents and their pets are our top priorities. We have initiated legal proceedings against the tenant and are taking this matter very seriously.”<\/p>\n
The Bradleys say they plan to sue. An injury to a dog caused by another dog is considered a civil matter.<\/p>\n
CBS News New York also reached out to the Department of Health but has not heard back.<\/p>\n
