MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A dog is on the loose after attacking a girl Wednesday in Miami-Dade, leaving blood, scattered dog treats and toys, and a mangled dog crate outside the scene.

Neighbors heard a girl screaming and called 911. A woman speaking through a Spanish translator said the dog wouldn’t let the girl go, biting one arm before going after the other.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Miami-Dade sheriff’s deputies responded to Northwest 66th Street around 4:40 p.m. for an animal bite. Deputies said they learned the dog was a family pet.

The dog’s owner, who asked to remain anonymous, told Local 10 the incident was a shock.

“It is a big shock because this is not him. This is completely out of character,” she said.

The American pit bull, named Diablo, was being sought by his owner after the victim’s mother called her.

“I heard that the police did tase him,” the owner said.

She said she rents the property so Diablo can live there comfortably. A mother and her two children help care for the 5-year-old dog, she said.

“I do have someone that’s here with him to just give him food, water, bathe him and everything like that,” she said. “Because I don’t have the groomer coming as often as I used to.”

She said the caretakers receive free rent in exchange for helping care for the dog.

MDSO told Local 10 that a deputy tried to Tase the dog but missed.

The dog ran away and remains on the loose.

The court case on Hot Bench where the defendant , owner of American Bulldog claims that the attack happened because the owner of the small dog snuck up behind her and her dog asserted itself as an " alpha ". Small dog owner courageously fights off the bulldog to save his dog. Owner of attacking dog refuses to pay a modest vet bill. Parts 1+ 2, about 4 minutes each. Who sounds credible ?

About a month ago my Shih Tzu and I were attacked by a pit at the complex we had just moved into (Albuquerque 9/3).

My dog was fine, I got stitches, nerve damage and trauma. I try to take her out now at odd times to avoid anyone. There are still two pits and a GSD in this complex of seniors. No senior could control either of those dogs on a flexi leash.

The last two days, a friendly pit owner seems to be going out at the same time. She is in the adjacent open space. Today she started heading towards us after waving and trying to yell hello. Am sure she is trying to be a nice person and meet the new tenant. But it’s a small place, everyone knows I was attacked.

Twice now, I have to quickly scoop up my dog and rush in. What is wrong with these people? Why would she think I would want to be near her dog? Am sure it’s one of the “nice” ones she would say but I am traumatized. Leave us alone.

20/10/2026 🐕 NEIGHBOR ATTACKED BY A PITBULL IN LA ROMANA: OWNER REPORTS BEHAVIOR TO THE PUBLIC

📍 La Romana | Dominican Republic

A man was injured after being attacked by a pitbull in a public space in La Romana, sparking concern among residents about the safety of those who walk in the area.

According to the reported account, the incident began when the neighbor asked the owner to leash the dog to prevent potential risks to pedestrians. The situation escalated when the owner allegedly let the dog attack the man.

🩹 NEIGHBORS INTERVENED TO HELP THE VICTIM

According to the reported accounts, the man suffered bites on his arms and other parts of his body. Residents in the area intervened to help him get away from the animal.

So far, the information does not officially confirm the severity of the injuries or whether any complaints were filed or if any authorities intervened.

🚨 CONCERN ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY

The incident has once again brought to light the importance of responsible pet ownership, especially in crowded areas, where a dog without proper control can pose a risk to other people.

🐾 WHAT SHOULD DOG OWNERS KEEP IN MIND?

Experts in responsible pet ownership recommend keeping animals under control, using a suitable leash, and adhering to local rules on the use of collars when appropriate.

It is also important to remember that aggressive behavior should not be automatically attributed to a specific breed: handling, education, environment, and the responsibility of each owner are fundamental factors in preventing incidents.

⚠️ Public space should be a safe place for everyone. Responsible ownership implies protecting both animals and neighbors and pedestrians.

💬 **What do you think? Do you think stricter penalties should be applied to owners who do not control their dogs or use them to attack others?
