Three of the pit bulls have been euthanized and the fourth will be, a spokesperson said. The young puppies will be sent to a rescue organization. “City of Baytown leaders were disgusted after hearing about Thursday night’s dog attack against a member of our community, and we’re hoping for a quick recovery. The City has ordinances in place to protect both the public and animal owners. However, we fully acknowledge that we have seen an increase in cases of irresponsible pet ownership. In cases like this in the past, owners have been held responsible in many ways and this one is no different,” a spokesperson wrote in a statement to KPRC 2.
