2019 Dog Bite Fatality: Woman, 49, Dies After Being Mauled by Her Two Rescue Great Danes in Warren County, Ohio

Mary Matthews, 49-years old, was killed by her two rescue great danes on Friday.

Family Speaks Out
UPDATE 11/07/19: After publishing our post, we received confirmation from two separate sources that the female black great dane named "Caitlyn" was not involved in the attack that killed Mary Matthews on November 1. In mid January, the owner of Caitlyn rehomed the dog to Matthews. Six days later, the owner picked Caitlyn back up. After learning of Matthews' death, the owner wrote, "When I got her back she was kept outside in winter, was freezing, and severely underweight."

Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue and Rehab (SRGDDR) also contacted us. They confirmed that they adopted the fawn, male great dane, "Bo Jackson" to Matthews in January. "She got him January 6th. Adopted him January 16th," Amy Rainoshek stated in an email to us Wednesday. The February 25 post was a "courtesy post" for Caitlyn's owner, Rainoshek wrote. But the post was not designated a "courtesy post" on November 4 when we made six copies of it, each timestamped.

Caitlyn was "never in this rescue," Rainoshek wrote. "We had no knowledge" of the January placement, she wrote. "We knew nothing about Caitlyn until February 25th" when her owner "wrote us and asked us to courtesy post Caitlyn." It would have been helpful if the courtesy language had been present, especially since the post was written in first person. In our earlier post, we never stated "who" rehomed Caitlyn to Matthews because that was unknown to us.

The Black Great Dane

Numerous media reports state that the black great dane was "vicious" and had bitten people in the past, including Matthew's husband. These referrals of the black great dane all stem back to the police incident report, which states that Dale, Matthew's husband, "advised the black dog is 'vicious' and had reportedly bit several people including himself." Dale "had evidence of prior bite marks to his right forearm," states the report. News media outlets also confirmed this with Dale.

Late Wednesday, as we were writing this update, the mystery of the black great dane was solved. WLWT aired a segment of Matthew's two adult children and provided photographs of the dogs. This "should" satisfy those who continue to believe the black dog was a "mislabeled" pit bull-cane corso mix (an earlier dog owned by Matthews). What should be self-evident to all readers by now is that Matthews, who was a chronic alcoholic, had also started "collecting" rescue great danes.

Finally, recall that while there were multiple bites inflicted by Matthews' "collection" of rescue great danes over time, the only documented bite occurred in 2018 and was inflicted by a different great dane than those seen in the photographs. Sadly, and by choice, Matthews had a succession of unstable rescue great danes in her home that she could not manage or properly care for. After her mauling death, her husband Dale told media outlets, "I wanted to get rid of him, but she wouldn't."

11/04/19: Rescue Dogs Kill Owner
Warren County, OH - Clearcreek Township Police said a woman was found dead in her home Friday after being attacked by her two dogs. Police had originally been dispatched to the home on a report of a possible overdose. Mary Matthews, 49-years old, was found lying on the bathroom floor unresponsive. Her husband Dale Mark Matthews and his son discovered her body. Earlier that day, Dale had been released from the Warren County Jail, according to the police report.

The attack occurred in the couple's home in the 7400 block of Waterway Drive in Clearcreek Township. Matthews was found covered in blood and deceased when police arrived. Police found bloodstains in many of the rooms and a pair of torn up bloodstained sweatpants were located in front of the living room couch. The couch also had blood and dog fur all over it. Police found a chunk of flesh on the couch too. Numerous beer cans and medication bottles littered the home.

A baseball bat "heavily blood-stained" in the front and back was also found near the living room couch with a bloody towel laying next to it.

On the back deck, police discovered two great danes; one was black and the other tan. The police report stated the deck was so covered in feces that the floor of the deck was not visible. Dale told police the black great dane was "vicious" and that it had bitten several people previously, including himself. Police noted in the report that there had been numerous calls to the couple's home in the past and that it was "well known" that both Dale and Mary suffered from chronic alcoholism.

Though Matthews was eventually able to get the dogs outside, due to her history, along with the evidence that Matthews had changed clothes several times and had used towels to mop up her own blood or to stop her own bleeding, she may not have been clear-minded enough to understand how badly injured she was. She never called police for help. Dale also admitted to police that Matthews typically started her day by taking prescription medicines and drinking beer.

The Rescue Great Danes

Dale (also known as Mark) told police they rescued the great danes two years ago -- prior to this, the couple had owned a pit bull-mastiff, according to Matthew's Facebook page. However, screenshots of the two great danes indicate the adoption was in January 2019. Dale told WLWT that he wanted to get rid of the vicious black dog, but that his wife refused. Dale had been in jail from October 30 to November 1 due to a warrant regarding failing to appear for child support.

Doyle Burke, chief investigator for the Warren County Coroner’s Office, said both dogs were known to police and the dog warden before this attack. "They've bitten our victim in the past," he told Cincinnati.com, "These dogs were known to be aggressive." Warren County Dog Warden Nathan Harper said both dogs were euthanized Saturday. Harper also said (conflictingly) that his office was called to the couple's home in 2018 for bites involving a different great dane.

Two screenshots were sent in to us Monday. One is a congratulations message to Matthews from Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue and Rehab (SRGDRR) for adopting Bo, a tan male great dane on January 16. A day earlier, Matthews states in a post, "I'm a great dane sucker rescuing my 2nd since my Daphne passed, this is Caitlyn, the newest member of our household." Caitlyn is a black female great dane, but she may have never even arrived at the Matthews household.

A February 25 post by SRGDRR states that Caitlyn was still looking for a home. Caitlyn has a mountain of medical and behavioral problems, including immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (IMT). As her behavior worsened, the dog bit two adults and three middle schoolers. Caitlyn was diagnosed with "generalized anxiety, fear aggression toward dogs, territorial aggression toward humans, and conflict-induced aggression" at the Purdue University's Vet Clinic, states the post.

Seeking Verification & More

On Tuesday, we contacted Clearcreek Township Police to see if we could gain a copy of the incident report that was released to media outlets yesterday. We also asked if they could verify if Caitlyn was the name of the black dog involved in the attack. Matthews' death remains under investigation, so we may be unable to obtain any more details about the dogs. Most importantly, however, the black female pit bull-mastiff mix "Darby" was not involved in the fatal attack.

This year, a wider variety of breeds have been involved in fatal attacks than usual, including two coonhounds killing their 67-year old female owner, two "show" Doberman pinchers killing their 66-year old female owner and two boxers killing their 52-year old female owner. Since 2005, only one other fatality involved a great dane. In 2009, Barbara Chambers, 59, was attacked by her male "prize-winning" great dane in Texas. She suffered serious injuries and died one month later.

2019 Dog Bite Fatality: Woman Killed by Family Pit Bulls in Bay City, Michigan

Brandy Boschen-O'Dell, 41, was killed by one or more pit bulls in Bay City, Michigan.

Boyfriend's Dogs
UPDATE 11/12/19: On November 1, the Bay City Department of Public Safety reported they were dispatched to a residence in the 3200 block of Westshore Drive. On their arrival, they found a 41-year old woman deceased. An autopsy determined her death was caused "from several bites made by one or more dogs that were pets." Two pit bull-type dogs were removed from the home. One media outlet was at the scene and noted a fight breaking out among family members.

Three days later, police identified the victim as Brandy Joy O'Dell. Also on November 4, Craig Goulet, supervisor of Bay County Animal Services and Adoption Center, confirmed that both dogs were pit bulls. On November 5, it was reported that a third dog was briefly seized and later returned, a chihuahua. It was also reported that it was O'Dell's "live-in boyfriend" who called 911 after returning home and finding her, Bay City Public Safety Capt. Caleb Rowell said.

Multiple headlines stated that O'Dell was killed "by her dogs." But on November 5, it was reported O'Dell had been "alone with the dogs for less than one day" prior to the lethal attack, indicating a new situation. Many of O'Dell's family members own pit bulls and O'Dell had owned them in the past. O'Dell's live-in boyfriend, who is mentioned in her obituary as a "very special friend and companion," owns two pit bulls and a chihuahua and lives in the 3200 block of Westshore Drive.

The two pit bulls, Chester and Rocket, are males. Chester is at least five years old; Rocky is only about two years old. O'Dell's mother, Cindy Lamb, commented on the Bay City Department of Public Safety's Facebook post: "I'm the mother and found her, you didn't see what I did." She "loved her dogs" and had three, but "only one did this, the older one, maybe because he's older." Lamb also states on the post, "dog is down." We assume this means Chester was put down.

On November 15, MLive.com confirmed the dog details from records obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request. Investigators believe that only Chester carried out the fatal attack. The dog's owner, her live-in boyfriend, said she had "no problems handling the dog." The boyfriend also told police that O'Dell told him that Chester had previously bitten her, but she told other people the injury was from a box cutter. Both Chester and Rocket are scheduled to be euthanized.

11/05/19: Ownership Questions Remain
New information released by police states the attacking dogs had been alone with the victim for less than one day. On November 1, Brandy O'Dell, 41-years old, was discovered dead in her home after being mauled by one or more pit bulls. O'Dell's live-in boyfriend found her body and called 911. "The boyfriend had put [the dogs] in crates before police arrived," Bay City Public Safety Capt. Caleb Rowell told MLive.com. Animal control removed them without difficulty.

Police still have not determined if one or both pit bulls were involved. Police did not explain the short time period or who in fact owns the dogs.

"We're still trying to gather some information," Rowell told MLive.com. "We're trying to find out if there is any history of the dogs biting or attacking anybody else to see if (the owners) should have known the dogs were vicious and if anything could have been done to prevent it," Rowell said. "We're interviewing family, neighbors, and friends to see if they know anything about the dogs, if they bit any people in the past." Notably, the title of the article states: "killed by her dogs."

11/04/19: Pit Bulls Kill Female Owner
Bay City, MI - A 41-year old woman died Friday after being attacked by her pit bulls. Officers from the Bay City Department of Public Safety were dispatched to a residence in the 3200 block of Westshore Drive in the Westshore Estates Mobile Home Park at 2:55 pm Friday. Brandy Joy O'Dell was discovered deceased inside the home. The Bay County Medical Examiner's office determined her death "was caused from several bites made by one or more dogs that were pets."

Two "pit bull-type dogs were removed from the victim's home and taken to animal control," stated Bay City Department of Public Safety on their Facebook page. Craig Goulet, supervisor of Bay County Animal Services and Adoption Center, confirmed that both dogs are pit bulls, reports MLive.com. The dogs are currently in bite quarantine. Images from O'Dell and her husband's Facebook pages show a black pit bull and a white pit bull. O'Dell's daughter owns pit bulls too.

The NBC 25/FOX 66 news coverage shows family members crying at the scene Friday afternoon and a fight breaking out among family members. One person is handcuffed by police in front of a police cruiser. Police said Friday the situation was not "cut and dry" then hauled away two pit bulls that were inside the home. The victim was identified Monday after an autopsy was performed over the weekend. It is not known whether one or both pit bulls were involved in the deadly attack.

Owner-Directed Fatal Attacks

O'Dell's fatal dog mauling marks another female 30 to 49-years old killed by her own pit bulls. So far in 2019, there have been 7 owner-directed fatal attacks. The age range of these owners is 31 to 67-years old and 6 of these victims, 86%, were female. 4 of the 7 attacks, 57%, were carried out by pet pit bulls. Last month, we released new statistics to better understand fatal pit bull attack victim trends. Women ≥ 30-years old are now the most frequent victim of fatal pit bull maulings.

States Dominating Fatalities

O'Dell's fatal dog mauling marks the third dog bite fatality in Michigan this year, each occurring between August 19 and November 1. These deaths include: Benjamin Cobb, 4-years old (Hazel Park); Emma Hernandez, 9-years old (Detroit) and now Brandy O'Dell, 41-years old (Bay City). California and Texas, however, dominate U.S. fatalities with 8 and 6 deaths respectively so far this year. Kentucky follows with 4 deaths and Florida, Michigan and Tennessee each with 3 deaths.

2019 Dog Bite Fatality: 4-Year Old Boy Killed by Pit Bull His Family Was Housing at Their Hazel Park Home

Benjamin Cobb, 4-years old, was killed by a pit bull his family was housing in Hazel Park.

Dog Owner Named
UPDATE 10/29/20: On the 1-year anniversary of Benjamin Cobb's death -- who was killed by a pit bull that "detonated" like a bomb inside his home -- this is what the dog's owner, Chris Mallory, told Benjamin's mother. It is so dreadful that we will not quote any portion. Brandi Halterman had been housing the pit bull, "Bolo," for less than a day when the dog attacked. Bolo was allegedly 1-year old and light brown colored, but is not one of the pit bulls depicted on Mallory's Facebook page.

Brandi also posted today that if anyone "witnessed Shannon or Chris abusing animals in any way, EVER, SPEAK UP! This is what will get Ben justice." [sic] Brandi left the contact number for Det. Janeen Laity. Shannon Kania is Mallory's partner, who actually started this conflict two days earlier by posting a meme of a female struggling to control an XL pit bull (American bully), stating in jest, "This is me with Remi!" Brandi did not find this amusing. Remi is the female littermate of Bolo.

Brandi was in the room when the pit bull violently attacked her son. She tried to fight the dog off by stabbing it with scissors, then with a steak knife. Bolo was still "actively attacking" her son when police arrived. On October 31, Brandi started a public group, Justice for Ben. One post shows an exchange between Brandi and Shannon discussing the dog sitting plan weeks before the attack. Shannon told her that Bolo had to be kept in a separate room to keep her dogs from fighting.

A "Bolo on the bed" video was relayed to us, along with a still photograph. Bolo is a tri-colored pit bull and is the male sibling of the tri-colored female pit bull seen on Mallory's Facebook page.

10/31/19: New Details Released
New information has been released about the pit bull that "detonated" like a bomb late Monday in a Hazel Park home, brutally killing 4-year old Benjamin Cobb. The male pit bull, named Bolo (Be On the Look Out), is 1-year old and light brown colored. The child's mother, 38-year old Brandi Halterman, was in the room when the dog violently attacked. She tried to fight the pit bull off by stabbing it, first by using nearby scissors, then a steak knife she ran to the kitchen to retrieve.

Bloody and injured by the multiple stabbings and zings from high powered Tasers, the pit bull was still able take off after the attack.

When police arrived, the pit bull was still "actively attacking" the boy. Police fired Tasers at the dog. Then the pit bull bolted from the home and was spotted by a resident about a mile away. "It appears as if this was just a sudden attack," Hazel Park Police Chief Brian Buchholz told the Detroit Free Press. The situation was so horrific that even the officers and firefighters who went to the house were traumatized. "We don't know what may have sparked it," Buchholz said.

Regarding the "foster" language initially used by police, this is summed up best by Nolan Finley of The Detroit News: "Apparently, the mother, who survived, was housing the dog on behalf of acquaintances who could no longer keep it while a permanent owner was found." That is a form of fostering and is loaded with red flags, however, it is not the actual meaning of a dog being placed with a foster by a rescue or shelter. The "source" of Bolo still has not been released by police.

The neuter status of this 1-year old pit bull has not been released either. If the dog was altered by that age, it likely came from a shelter or rescue.

On Wednesday, The Detroit News reported that a crew dressed in hazmat suits could be seen removing furniture from the home. In a surreal photograph by Sarah Rahal, one sees a crew member in a hazmat suit with orange shoes near the home and a large orange pumpkin in the background. The image depicts the horrific and bloody reality after a pit bull, which allegedly had "never shown aggressive behaviors" before, literally detonated like a bomb inside that home.

No one in that household was spared. Brandi witnessed the attack on her son and received about 20 stitches. Benjamin's 14-year old sister made the 911 call. “They heard the screaming," Chief Buchholz told 7 Action News. "And they didn’t know what they were responding to. But they knew it was bad." Police and firefighters rushed into a scene that must have looked like a warzone -- none of them were spared either. Then the hazmat cleanup crew, whose job must have been grim.

The Oakland County Medical Examiner’s office said the boy suffered blunt force trauma to the neck, a perforated neck artery and possible asphyxiation from dog bites to his neck. The manner of death was ruled an accident, but it should have been ruled a canine homicide. Bolo (Be On the Look Out) continued executing the killing bite despite Brandi using lethal force on the dog. Then Bolo bolted after being struck by Tasers. Bolo singlehandedly turned that home into a hazmat site.

The Owner of the Pit Bull

Police have not released any details about Bolo's owner. According to Brandi's family, the mother made "a kind gesture to help a friend in a time of need." Police said the boy's family had been watching the dog "for less than a day for a friend, who was staying at a Madison Heights hotel." Finley interpreted (or was told) these ambiguities mean that the mother was housing the pit bull "on behalf of acquaintances who could no longer keep it while a permanent owner was found."

The violent attack "has taken an unimaginable toll on our family, friends, and all those who knew our sweet boy," states the family on their GoFundMe page, which as of Thursday had reached $23,000. It's taken a toll on police, fire, the doctors who tried to save the boy and the entire Hazel Park community as well. For all of these reasons and more, over 1,000 jurisdictions in this country regulate this dog breed in order to prevent these sudden and often deadly detonations by them.

10/30/19: Pit Bull Kills Boy in Hazel Park
Hazel Park, MI - A 4-year old boy is dead after being brutally mauled by a pit bull his family was fostering. The attacked occurred about 6:45 pm near East 9 Mile Road and John Road, according to police. During the attack, the mother began stabbing the dog, but the animal got away. Police located the dog and Tased it. The pit bull was later euthanized. The young boy, who suffered bite injuries to his body and neck, was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Neighbors told WDIV the family had only moved into the home a few months ago and the 60-pound pit bull was a recent addition to the family.

Hazel Park is located in Oakland County and lies within the Detroit Metropolitan Area. In August, 9-year old Emma Hernandez was brutally killed by three pit bulls while riding her bike in an alley behind her home in a southwest Detroit neighborhood. The owner of those dogs, Pierre Cleveland, was later charged with second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and possessing dangerous animals causing a person's death. His criminal trial is expected to be held next year.

Wednesday Morning Updates

The deadly attacked occurred in the 500 block of East Woodruff Avenue. The boy's 14-year old sister called 911 at about 6:45 pm and said her mother was trying to stop the dog from attacking the boy in her home. Investigators said the mother used a knife, cutting the dog, while defending her son. The family had been fostering the male, 60-pound pit bull, according to police. No information was provided regarding the "source" of the dog or whether the dog was neutered.

"A preliminary finding appears that this case was a tragic incident and the investigation continues to determine why the dog attacked the boy."

When police arrived at the scene with the Hazel Park Fire Department, the pit bull was still "actively attacking" the 4-year old boy. Multiple Tasers were fired to free the boy from the jaws of the pit bull. The dog then bolted from the home. Officers later located and secured the animal. The dog was taken to a local veterinarian and euthanized, investigators said. The boy's 38-year old mother was also taken to the hospital and treated for non-life-threatening dog bite injuries.

WWJ Newsradio identified the victim as Benjamin Cobb. A GoFundMe created for the family stated the fostering situation was a "kind gesture to help a friend in a time of need, for a dog that was said to have never shown aggressive behaviors." Tiffany Bieniewicz, the fundraiser organizer, added, "We have learned that we are far from alone in our struggle, as diligent and loving parents from all walks of life have suffered this catastrophic loss under similar horrifying circumstances."

Knew Dog Less than One Day

The Morning Sun reports the boy's family had been watching the dog for less than one day for a friend, who was staying at a Madison Heights hotel, according to police. The mother was with her son when the dog attacked. "The boy was in his bedroom and his mother was working on a wall in the room," said Hazel Park Police Chief Brian Buchholz. "The mother heard the dog growl when the attack started. It was very sudden." Police arrived to the dog still actively attacking the boy.

"It was hard for our officers and myself to see, so I can’t image what the family is going through." - Hazel Park Police Chief Brian Buchholz

The Oakland County Medical Examiner’s office said the boy suffered blunt force trauma to the neck, a perforated neck artery and possible asphyxiation from the dog biting his neck. The manner of death was ruled an accident. After the pit bull had been stabbed by the boy's mother and Tased by police, finally freeing the boy, the dog bolted from the family's home and ran for about a mile before it was spotted by a resident. The dog was later taken to a veterinarian and euthanized.

City Repealed Pit Bull Ban

In 2008, Hazel Park declared pit bull dogs "dangerous" (08-08), effectively banning new pit bulls. Existing pit bulls were grandfathered in with licensing and containment requirements. News reports, however, refer to this as a February 2012 ordinance. In July 2015 (0-15), at the request of pit bull owners, the city repealed the ban, but left some restrictions in place, including a 6-foot fencing requirement for pit bulls and proof of insurance. Mayor Jan Parisi signed the partial repeal.

In May 2017 (04-17, 05-17, 6-17), all references to breed were removed, along with special requirements for pit bulls. Mayor Jeff Keeton signed these repeals. Neither is serving the Hazel Park community any longer. Previous fatal dog maulings in Oakland County include: infant Holden Garrison, killed by a family "catahoula cattle hound" in Davisburg in 2014 and Samantha Black, 2-years old, killed by two family dogs, a husky and a malamute, in Waterford Township in 2005.

New Statistics Released

Last week we released new statistics to better understand fatal pit bull attack victim trends. The gender is changing. Women ≥ 30-years old are now the most frequent victim of fatal pit bull maulings. 73% of adult deaths due to dog attacks are inflicted by pit bulls and nearly half of all infant deaths due to dog attacks are inflicted by pit bulls. The other items include a chart showing the most frequent fatal pit bull attack victims and the age, sex and crude rate for these victims.

Responsible Citizens for Public Safety releases new video in advance of the upcoming event.
