Oakland County Animal Shelter Attack in Pontiac, Michigan

Surveillance footage released by Oakland County. Related post: On December 12, a pit bull being held in a bite quarantine kennel block at the Oakland County Animal Shelter viciously attacked the shelter supervisor. An animal control officer shot the dog in the head, killing it. The attack occurred four days before a show-cause hearing was scheduled. Previously, the dog had attacked three family members, causing the quarantine. The owners, however, wanted “Roscoe“ back, which forced the legal hearing. Upon our request, a canine aggression expert in California, who works on a consulting basis with animal control departments for safety and disaster response, broke down the surveillance footage into a written transcript for our readers. The video contains no audio, has a low frame-rate and some parts are unclear.
