Chance the 2-year-old Rottweiler-Pit bull mix died after a five-day struggle. He was attacked by bees after a neighbor tried to remove a hive from an old wood fence.
neighborhood. Sunday night, after a painful five-day battle, the dog took his last breath in the arms of Bryan and Brittany Engen. The husband and wife loved him, calling him their "third child."
Chance’s demise began on Tuesday, May 16. That’s when a swarm of bees attacked the dog as he wandered in the yard. The bees became agitated after a neighbor tried to dismantle a bee hive hidden in the planks of an old wood fence. That neighbor, Tommy Baker, had no idea the swarm of bees had left his yard and descended on the helpless dog. But Baker’s wife saw Chance under siege, and pulled him to safety in the garage. But the damage was done.
A GoFundMe started by the Baker Family raised over $6,000 for Chance's care. Despite Herculean medical efforts to save Chance, sadly, there was no second chance for him. On a Zoom call, an emotional Brittany Engen described through tears the family’s love for their deceased dog. The family hoped and prayed Chance could battle back."He fought as hard as he could," Engen said.
The entire Perris neighborhood loved Chance, and has taken the loss hard. As Engen pointed out, "We live in nature. Things happen in nature. Coyotes. And now we learn bees." For now, the family is healing and trying to figure out how to break the news to their young daughter and son, who worshiped the family pet. Chance’s ashes will arrive back to the family home in the coming days. that I have read and agree
