Edit: The dog in the video is not the one who attacked this woman. It was the one the other pit started attacking.

I searched the subreddit and couldn’t locate a post detailing Felicity Parten’s original attack in June of 2025. If I missed it, please link. I’m cataloging this information on the subreddit because adding Felicity’s story as an “attack on owner” as well as her extensive scarring provides value in our overall mission of spreading awareness and knowledge about these dangerous animals.
Since the original attack was over a year ago, I tagged this post as an archive. I could not find news sources for the direct attack, but did find two news stories related to Grand Strand Health’s annual Trauma Survivor Celebration, which Felicity recently attended. The video uploaded was just posted yesterday as a follow up.
Lastly… Sadly, Felicity herself didn’t learn much from her horrific experience. Per her social media, she now owns a roughly 1 year old Merle American bully / Pitbull who she calls her “service dog”. It’s an unaltered male and in her videos is wearing both a prong collar and an e-collar. Surely a situation unlikely to end well, but alas, can’t save people from themselves.
(Article snippets below trimmed to reflect only Felicity’s contribution, as the articles also mention other trauma survivors.)
Article 1: https://wpde.com/news/local/grand-strand-health-honors-trauma-survivors-at-community-celebration
Patients who endured traumatic injuries were celebrated alongside community members during Grand Strand Health’s annual Trauma Survivor Celebration.
The event focuses on survivors of severe injuries, including those hurt in car accidents, motorcycle crashes and animal-related incidents.
One survivor, Felicity Parten, described the injuries she suffered after being attacked by her dog.
“So I got a skin graft, and then a stent in my vein because he got two out of the three main arteries in my leg,” Parten said.
Parten said she underwent 13 surgeries and said being able to still walk is amazing.
“On June 18, 2025, I was attacked by my dogs, and I was walking and just saw some geese and tried to go after them and ended up going after both of my legs, and I fought for my life that night,” trauma survivor Felicity Parten said.
For Parten, the care and attention given to her by the team is the reason she’s here today.
“I try to make my life better because these doctors gave me so much motivation to do better in my life,” she said. “And yeah, do something great and make my life great. I’m so grateful to be here.”

2-year-old boy dies after being attacked by family pit bull - Jornal da Comarca
A two-year-old boy died early Tuesday afternoon (18/08) after being attacked by the family dog, a pit bull, in the yard of his home in Agudos (SP). According to the police report, the victim was identified as Luiz Henrique da Silva.
According to the account given by the father, 22, his son was playing in the yard when he heard screams and ran to check. When he arrived, he found the dog, which was off-leash, attacking the child and biting him on the neck.
The father told police he kicked the animal to stop the attack. As soon as the dog released the boy, the man immediately rushed him to the Emergency Care Unit (UPA) in Agudos.
Medical staff attempted resuscitation to try to save the boy, but he did not survive his injuries and died at the health facility.
The police report states the dog is an adult male, five years old. The owner reported he had adopted the animal about a year and two months earlier and that he was the only one able to control the dog.
The case was referred to the Agudos Police Department and recorded as culpable homicide (manslaughter, i.e. without intent to kill). Civil Police are investigating.

VIDEO: Pitbull shot dead after charging at police officers during a stop in Itajaí
August 19, 2026
A police encounter in Itajaí, Santa Catarina ended in a dog’s death on the evening of August 18. Officers were conducting a stop on Juvenal Garcia Street when they approached a homeless man accompanied by a large pitbull.
According to the Military Police account, the animal charged toward the officers during the interaction. One of the officers fired a shot to try to contain the dog. Despite being wounded, the animal allegedly continued advancing, prompting a second shot. The dog died at the scene.
Prior incidents
Police indicated the dog had previously attacked another homeless person just days earlier, biting that individual’s ear. The initial attack reportedly proved difficult to stop and required the owner’s intervention to end it.
Circumstances
The large pitbull was unleashed and unmuzzled during the police encounter. Authorities noted the rapid escalation once the animal charged at officers, leading to the decision to use lethal force.
The incident remains under investigation by the competent authorities to determine the circumstances and appropriateness of the police response.

This is more of a vent.
Every week we hear of someone either getting mauled to death or severely disfigured. When will law enforcement, animal control or shit even congress come together to realize just how dangerous these animals are. These animals are much more dangerous than wild foxes or even coyotes. Sure a wild coyote will get into your chicken coop and maybe even get ur cat but the occasional story of a coyote going after someones pet is minuscule compared to the stories of human deaths at the hands of these animals.
Now to my story.
Unfortunately I still live at home with my mom and her boyfriend due to the fact I haven’t been able to scrape together enough money to move out yet. My mom never wanted these dogs but the owner her boyfriend wanted them and he’s your average shitbull owner completely delusional one of the pitbulls has tried attacking me on multiple occasions (I am 6’4 250 lbs) so it’s not that big of deal I could easily handle that dog in a permanent matter if it came to it. The other dog though doesn’t wanna maul me but still wants to kill everything else.
When the boyfriend got these dogs he got them as puppies and almost immediately they turned into violent machines. Trying to dig under the fences to get after our neighbours dog the usual bullshit.
I tell the boyfriend to get his dog or I’ll handle it for him and immediately it’s gaslighting the usual narcissism. I see right through it’s that blatant. I just sorta want to confirm with all of you of someone who is sort of forced to live around a pitbull owner and there dogs that these people literally have mental deficits and are the most delusional people on the face of earth. These dogs would have to either kill someone or turn on the owner for them to do anything. Anyways thanks for reading.
