Seattle jogger mauled by two Pit Bull mixes wants action on the two dogs, city ordinance

SEATTLE - The two dogs that badly mauled a woman in Eastlake will not be returned to their owner just yet.

The 10-day quarantine has ended but animal control says it needs to collect more evidence. This comes as the woman attacked faces yet another medical procedure.

Amy Craven spoke with KOMO News from her hospital bed Monday. She was emotional while describing how she's anxious to get out of Harborview, to finally hug her kids and to see an end to this investigation.

“Today is day 10 of me not seeing my kids,” Craven said.

Amy Craven has reminders of her 11-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son in a drawing now hanging from her hospital room at Harborview.

She hasn't seen them since the day two Pitbull-mix dogs attacked her in her Eastlake neighborhood before nearby workers stepped in to help.

“I'm angry at the negligent dog owner who let her dogs run loose,” Craven admitted.

Monday marks the end of the 10-day quarantine mandated for those dogs.

The Seattle Animal Shelter tells us the dogs will stay at the shelter through the investigation because of the severity of craven's injuries.

“I'm still in the hospital and can't go home because I have a leg that has exposed tendons hanging out,’ Craven said.

Animal Control says it could take weeks for investigators to collect and review the evidence and interview witnesses.

But Craven wants to see action taken now.

“I think the dogs should be euthanized by now,” Craven said. “I'm 10 days into the hospital and can't walk on my leg, I have to have wound care twice a day”

If the city decides to move forward with designating the dogs as 'dangerous,’ they can take the dogs' owners to court.

Potential outcomes include euthanasia or relocating the dogs outside city limits.

Craven said she'd like to see the city reevaluate that ordinance, saying dangerous dogs shouldn't be allowed to move to another part of the city.

“If a dog attacks and causes a severity of injuries that I have, those dogs need to be put down,” Craven said.

For now she's focusing on her recovery and counting down to when she can hug her kids again.

“They're doing as best as they can be,’ Craven said.

A spokesperson sent a statement saying it’s too early in the investigation to comment on potential code changes. But that they do welcome input any time there is an opportunity to review or update code.

They also wouldn't comment on potential charges the dogs' owners could face. Animal control tells us these dogs do not have a violent history that they're aware of.
