He was Mauled to death by....

man was mauled to death by the pet pit bull he once

loved on Christmas day. 40-year-old Eddie Cahill was on

the ground in his home in Portage, Indiana seen in bites

and blood when his wife Blanca Rodriguez returned home

at 5 p.m. from spending the day with her family. The

UK DialyMail reports:

Blanca was horrified to find her beloved

husband on the floor in a puddle of his own

blood. Rodriguez also found one of the family’s

dogs, 8-year-old Fat Boy, with a ring of blood

around its mouth. ‘His dogs were his life,’ said

his mourning wife to reporters as she held back

tears.

The family has another dog named Keylo who

is also eight-years-old. WGN reports that

Rodriguez called Animal control officers who

tasered Fat Boy then euthanized him at the

request of the family.

Rodriguez told reporters she never had

problems with her pit bull before and called this

a ‘freak accident.’ ‘I don’t want people to think

bad of pit bulls. It was a freak accident. He

loved the dogs,’ Rodriguez told reporters.

She said her husband might have been playing

keep-away with the dog bones they got the dog

for Christmas and that it could have triggered

the attack. She even said she let the dogs sleep

in the same room as her daughters. ‘They were

playful dogs,’ she said. ‘One slept with the girls

and the other slept with me and my husband.’

Rodriguez told police another story after her

husband’s death saying she told her husband

to euthanize the dog in the past because it was

‘violent and unpredictable.’
