UPDATE: Chuck, JOHN E. BENDER's pit bull, may be euthanized under Lake county's new "animal aggressive" designation as part of their dangerous dog ordinance. That ordinance was put into place as a result of a 2012 pit bull attack on a small dog in Waukegan. The small dog survived and because the small dog's owner was a Lake county board member, a new ordinance was put into place. The director of population health services at the Lake County Health Dept. will decide Chuck's fate on August 5.

In her statement to police the lady walking our beloved pets stated,
"That vicious animal was heading directly for me...his eyes were fixed on mine. That little brave dog stepped in front of me and I will always know in my heart that he saved my life by giving his to protect me." As Shibui's owner, on several occasions I witnessed him move to the side of his blind companion dog when another dog approached. He took his job as protector very seriously.. It's not the size of the dog...it's the heart of dog that makes him great. We miss our brave little Shibui more than words can express.
Thank all who have taken the time to weep with us and share our grief. Aug. 23, 10:30 Mundelein Courthouse we will be in court to make sure the IDIOT Bender sister and brother are made to take responsibility for Shibui's death. Please come if you can and support the cause to BAN PIT BULLS, a dog that is bred to kill!!!!

Wauconda - A dog sitter was walking two shih tzus, Shibui and Rocky, in a park when an unleashed pit bull attacked, ripped apart and killed Shibui.
The pit bull's owner, JOHN E. BENDER, ran out shirtless got the little dog out of the killer's maw, and kicked the pit in the butt to send it home, running after it.
BENDER was given a couple tickets. His mauler has attacked other animals, and thanks to Ledy VanKavage who drafted the current state legislation, attacking animals can be given back to their owners a couple times before anything is done, allowing special dogs like Shibui to be brutally killed traumatizing an entire family.
ShiBui's owner said that ShiBui was that special one-in-a-lifetime dog who was not only a wonderful pet, but a very important source of comfort and aid to their other dog, Rocky, who is blind. Rocky is lost now without his ShiBui.
