Family seeks new home for American Bully dog that mauled son to death

A family can no longer bear to keep the dogs and is looking for new homes for three American Bully dogs after they mauled their 18-year-old son to death in their home.

Yesterday (August 31), two American Bully dogs attacked and mauled Mr. Aphisak or On, 18 years old, to death in his downstairs bedroom in a house in Village 3, Tambon Tai Talat, Mueang District, Lopburi. There is CCTV footage from the second-floor bedroom at 8:05 p.m. on August 30. The deceased was seen playing with the dogs before they started attacking him on the bed. The deceased tried to use a pillow to block the attack, but the dogs continued to attack him. He had to run out of the room and down the stairs to his room downstairs. However, he probably couldn’t close the door in time. The two male dogs attacked him until he died on the bed, without anyone helping.

Initial examination of the body revealed bite marks on several parts of the body, such as the arms and both legs, and there were also bite marks on the head. Tragically, both ea
rs of the deceased were missing. The body of the deceased is currently at the Institute of Forensic Medicine. The relatives have arranged to receive the body for religious rites at Wat Luang Tai Talat, Lop Buri Province.

Today, reporters went to the scene of the incident and found the parents who were still grieving and unable to come to terms with it. They refused to answer questions from the media, and instead asked Mr. Aphisit, the deceased’s older brother, to explain that the two American Bully dogs were named Fino and Cesara, male, 1.5 years old, and weighed 18-20 kilograms. He gave birth to them himself. The mother was named Tangkas, 4 years old. Her father bought her and raised her, and he bred her until Fino and Cesara were born. Before that, Fino and Cesara were in Bangkok, but because he had to come back to take care of their mother, who was old and often sick, he brought the two dogs to raise at his home in Lopburi, along with their mother.

When he was brought here, he was not familiar with anyon
e. There was one white male Thai dog that the family was already raising, Jao Tan, which was not familiar with Jao Tan, so they took him to raise in their bedroom on the second floor. His younger brother fed him and they started to get to know each other, playing and joking around since then. However, during the time of the incident, his father went to work, his mother went to the doctor, and he was on night duty and did not return home like every day. It is expected that Fino and Cera were stressed from not seeing him for many days, and it is possible that his younger brother did not play with him properly, so he became aggressive and started biting. When he smelled blood, he became reckless and would not listen to what was told.

Announcement to find a new home for 3 American Bully dogs.

Gas tank, the mother of the 2 American Bully dogs, is now injured in the leg because she tried to help her brother. However, she may not have been able to withstand Fino and Cera, so she retreated and let the tragic incide
nt happen. The family is saddened by the loss of their beloved person forever and intends not to raise the 3 dogs anymore. Currently, many people have contacted to adopt them, including Watch Dogs officers who called to ask about the progress with concern. They will choose only those who have knowledge about raising American Bully dogs.

The American Bully was developed from the American Pit Bull, making it kind, friendly, and not as aggressive as the American Pit Bull. Although their appearances are similar, it is easy to recognize them from their short, stocky, and muscular build that looks intimidating
