CLACKAMAS COUNTY - A Pit Bull puppy is recovering after being struck several times with an axe and now the dog's owner is left wondering why someone would lay such a vicious attack on an animal.


A 35-year-old man, Corey Kimble, is now in jail and has been charged with Animal Abuse in the First Degree and Probation Violation - DUII.

Police were called to a home at 8417 S.E. Cornwell Street on August 22 after a witness reported seeing Kimble use an axe on a Pit Bull.

Kimble told police the animal was being aggressive toward him. The attack took place in a shed.

The dog that was injured is 10-month-old Dozer. The dog somehow got away from his home a few blocks away.

Some of the wounds on Dozer's head were almost an inch and a half deep. His legs were also cut down to the bone and one cut was so deep that it broke his toe.



While Kimble sits in jail, the dog's owner, Joe O'Donnell, wonders why someone would take an axe to his dog.

"It takes a pretty messed up guy in the head to do something that bad," he said. "It just ain't right."



Dr. Denny Koontz, DVM, with Northwest Veterinary Specialists said Dozer was found wandering along Southeast 82nd Avenue.



"They had tried to take him to another hospital and they wouldn't accept him because he was injured and would probably be put to sleep," she said. "So they came here and the good Samaritan was actually willing to pay for some of his medical bills, even though they didn't have money to pay until later in the week."

"It's awesome," said Gloria O'Donnell, Joe's mother. "We can't believe someone would do that."

No one knows how Dozer got out. O'Donnell said the gates in his yard were locked.



With Dozer's care costing up to $1,800, O'Donnell said he plans to sue Kimble.

There is also a chance that more people could be charged in the case because there is the possibility that another person may have held the dog down during the attack. As for the good Samaritan, O'Donnell said he would like to know who that person is so he can give them a huge 'thank you.'

 

man.. I'd love a ball bat and 10 minutes alone with that guy

 

I would also like some time alone with that guy but I would rather use the same axe that he used on the dog.

 

was the dog actually attacking him? i cant believe that in any way, unless he was doing somthing to it. he tried to use the hype, about the pitbulls being human aggessive mess. this guy is crazy!

 

The guy sounds like a right NUTjob,how the hell can someone attack a pup inside a shed where it can get away. thats just sick!thank god the person who found the dog was a good guy.i thank him aswell.

When I first read this, the other day, else where, I was thinking "what the hell, (actually, it was "F"), is wrong with humans today?!!!!

Then I found that article about setting that poor "pit" on fire for trying to jump its fence, and I figured I'd just climb back into my cave!!!!:mad:

I just don't, and don't want to, understand human ignorance. People are nuts..
