Two in Hospital after Dog Attack
March 22, 2005
SAN ONOFRE. Two men were taken to a San Clemente hospital after a man doused them with brake fluid and set his pit bull dog on to them.
The men were both bitten by the animal, which may be put down as a result of the incident in a suburban park early today. Park rangers are interviewing the man over the attack at Surf Beach, but have not yet laid charges.
Following the incident, the dog owner went to his former partner's house at nearby Shorecliffs and poured brake fluid on the woman and her de facto's car but did not set it alight.
Police said the man had been walking on the beach, near bathroom#4 , about 4.20am when he set the dog, believed to be a pit bull , on to two men. He also doused them with what was believed to be brake fluid but did not set them alight.
San Clemente Hospital said the men had been bitten by the dog but could not say what their condition was.
Park Ranger Ephriam said pit bulls had been banned on the beach since 1997 and were also prohibited as imports to Talega. Only four that had been registered before then were allowed to be kept as pets.
San Onofre spokesman "Murphy the Mayor" said the dog might have to be euthanased. "We don't know if it is a pit bull, it's probably a pit bull cross," Murphy said. "The poor old pit bulls get blamed for everything but it's the owners that are the ratbags. We believe in punishing the deed, not the breed."

This rare breed of dog has been identified as a cross between the Pit Bull and an Armadillo, its called an "ARMPIT", its a very hairy and strong odored dog. Some owners shave their ARMPITS but most prefer them all-natural. Some beach goer's are up in arms about these dogs, a "Ban" has been tried but we have to wait until we get the "RIGHTGUARD" to protect the beach goer's.
