In a terrifying incident last month, Stephanie Wall and her daughter were attacked by a large, unleashed dog while walking their small dogs in South Hadley. The loose dog, identified as Boone, a pit bull mix, charged at them and bit one of the small dogs named Harper. Despite their efforts to free Harper from the aggressive dog’s grip, they struggled to save their beloved pet. Stephanie Wall screamed for help as the dog continued to attack Harper.
The traumatic incident occurred on June 24 around 7 p.m. on Pynchon Street, where the family was taking their usual walk with their two small dogs, Harper and Scarlet. The attack left the Walls shocked and devastated by the sudden and violent confrontation.
Concerned community members who heard Stephanie Wall’s cries quickly rushed to the scene to offer assistance. With the help of the good Samaritans, they were eventually able to free Harper from the dog’s grip. Thankfully, Harper survived the attack but sustained serious injuries that required immediate medical attention.
Stephanie Wall and her family are now urging pet owners to keep their dogs leashed and under control while in public spaces to prevent similar incidents from occurring. Authorities have been notified of the incident, and the investigation into the attack is ongoing to ensure the safety of residents in the area. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible pet ownership and the potential dangers of unleashed dogs in public spaces.
