– owner
One of the dogs that attacked their caretaker 25-year-old Ramdat Singh on Thursday was pregnant and this was responsible for her cross behaviour, the owner yesterday explained.
Businessman Carl Thomas who owns six pit bulls, comprising parents and their offspring told Stabroek News outside his Oleander Gardens residence that it was the `mother’ dog that attacked Singh.
He explained that she is pregnant and when dogs are in that condition they are usually `cross’.
Singh a resident of Cummings Lodge was attacked by two of the animals around 6 pm as he was preparing to feed them. He was bitten countless times on his hands and legs and rushed to the Georgetown Hospital bleeding profusely from the wounds.
After receiving treatment, including an x-ray he was admitted to the open ward in a stable condition.
When Stabroek News visited the man yesterday, he was in pain. The bandages on his hands were bloody. He said that the owner had visited him earlier in the day.
