Sean Lowe of “The Bachelor” has experienced something “quite traumatic” in recent days when the new beloved dog of the family attacked it not once, twice, leaving significant injuries on his two arms.
In a video Published Monday, days after the attacks, Lowe still seemed to be shaken by the events that had taken place around moose, the adult boxer who joined the family in January. The wife Catherine Lowe, née GIUDICI, sits almost silently by her side by telling the story. The two seemed emotional.
Sean Lowe said friends had come for a barbecue on Thursday while Catherine took the children to the shopping center. It was a good night in Dallas, so he had opened the doors and windows and a smoke time derived in the house, triggering the back of the smoke. Lowe said he had caught an undress and tried to wave the smoke far from the smoke detector – only so that the moose begins to bite the cloth and his finger “aggressively”. This behavior was unusual for the dog.
“I sort of gave him a” no, moose “and again the siren is just howling,” said Lowe. “Then he's going and starts to bite my feet. He has already done this before – if you have a herd dog, you probably know that, where they sort of bite the heels, but he never really bites.
“Well, he bit my feet so hard that he put holes in my shoes and it hurt my feet. So, at this stage, once again, there are so many chaos in progress with the alarm that is triggered, I give him a very severe, like” Moose, no! No! “And it was just about this moment when he shows me his teeth and simply attack me,” he said.
“And I don't want to say like a bite and run away, as many dogs do when they are afraid or defensive. I mean, attacking myself. I just feel it tearing the flesh of my arm, and at this point I do everything I can just to repel this dog.”
He managed to get out of the moose and in the courtyard, but the dog rushed and attacked him again.
Lowe said he was confused. “We only had it for a little less than three months,” he said, but he is My dog. I walk it. If I go shopping, he's going to the truck with me. When I get out of my chair, my children don't like it because he follows me, he doesn't follow them. As it is my dog. All he always wanted is affection. »»
He noted that he had taken a video earlier this day when Moose had put his head on Lowe's lap and “just wanted to be a pet”.
“It was so bizarre – like, why my dog, who I know loves me, attacking me so aggressively?” Said Lowe.
The group managed to recover the moose outside, but Lowe thought that the dog could have cut an artery in his arm, who “spurts” the blood, he said. “We have the video (security cameras) – the video is too violent, I will not share this. But you hear me say:” It's serious, you have to make me a hospital. Call Catherine. “”
In the emergency room, Lowe was sewn. But all the time, he said, he had a hard time reconciling what had just happened with his beautiful experiences as an original father. He said he was confused and the heart broken.
Lowe said he had contacted the local animal control office and spoke to a useful and understanding officer. He contacted the rescue group which facilitated adoption. Arrangements have been made, although Lowe had no details on the Moose fate.
In the morning after the first attack, Lowe said he was in the courtyard before with his parents, who, according to him, were going to help with the children while the adults took care of the dog. When the wind opened the front door, Lowe said he had seen Moose come out again through the door, even if his wife shouted: “No no no.”
“Passing a dog attack is damn traumatic,” said Lowe in the video. “Having to relive it less than 12 hours later, seeing this dog run you directly, it's a feeling that I don't think I never want to feel.”
Moose rushed and Lowe called for help. With great effort, he fought the dog on the ground. He held the Moose pass until the police arrived.
“I just know that I am fighting for my life here,” he said. “I have the impression that if this dog gets up, he will kill me.”
After two emergency trips, Lowe's arms were covered with bruises and numerous stitches. An injury – the one that spared the blood – has almost made the width of its forearm.
The children saw the attack this time, just like Catherine. Sean said that if they had been attacked in place of him, a man of 220 pounds, the moose “would have killed them”.
“I don't blame Moose a little,” he said. “It was not the fault of Ogoose. I think it is clear that he suffered a lot of trauma before having it.” And whatever happens, he said, something in the back of the smoke “overturned this switch” to Moose. People with the rescue group told him that they were not aware of the events of the dog's life that would have led to this.
“We are torn apart,” said Lowe. “We are really. Our dog we miss … it was a very, very good dog. And we are missing. “
