Mar 17, 2017 Bensenville Pit Bull Attacked Man Unprovoked

Benseville - A loose, white pit bull attacked 2-year-old-man was going to his car with a friend. Chris Kazmierczak began jogging to the car because he was cold and a pit bull ran up behind him and attacked him.

The pit bull had a collar and Kazmierczak’s friend was able to pull the pit bull off and kick it away. It only took 20 seconds for the pit bull to inflict devastating damage to Kazmierczak’s hands and arms. He works construction and won’t be able to work for at least 2 months.

Kazmierczak’s mother is angry because the police were called, but they decided not to go investigate. She is worried that the pit bull will not be found and will be a danger to the neighborhood.

Belvidere - Lael Lewand is a super pit bull supporter. She has a supposed pit bull service dog named Isis and another big pit bull named Keiko. Lael started a facebook page for the pit bulls called Isis, head of the itty bitty pittie committee & Keiko too. Lael says on her page she has been diagnosed with several conditions including depression, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder.

The big pit bull named Keiko attacked Isis. Lael's face was really torn up and she went to the emergency room in an ambulance.
