The tragedy of Daylan Guillen
Dangerous Dog Watch. 7-4-2023, North Port, FL - A 6-year old boy is dead after sustaining "severe injuries" from a family dog on the Fourth of July. The North Port Police Department (NPPD) responded to a home in the 2700 block of Badger Lane at about 10:30 am on the [4th of July] holiday. The boy was airlifted to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, a Level II trauma center, then transferred to Tampa General Hospital, a Level I trauma center. By 3:15 pm Wednesday, the boy had died due to injuries suffered to "the upper torso."
As first responders were en route, audio dispatch log files from Sarasota County Fire state, "6-year old male was bitten in the throat." North Port Police Chief Todd Garrison stated in a press release, "Our hearts are broken for this young child and his family. As a father and pet owner, I know this is one of the worst tragedies you can imagine. We ask that everyone take a few moments to pay respect and reflect on those you care for in your life. Our time here is precious.”
The dog involved, a 3-year old pit bull-mix, was taken into custody by Sarasota County Animal Services, and remains in their custody. At this stage, NPPD officials said investigators are not aware of any previous incidents involving the dog's behavior. Officials also confirmed that the dog lived in the same home as the child since it was a puppy. The case remains "active and ongoing" as of Wednesday afternoon, according to North Port Police spokesperson Josh Taylor.
At least eight Americans have been killed by dogs in the last four weeks. 63% of these deaths involved a pet dog killing a family member. Each of these deaths involved a pit bull or bull breed. The North Port attack appears to have been savage. It was clearly a disproportionate response to whatever event, if any, precipitated the violent attack. This "family pet" repeatedly attacked the child in the stomach, upper torso and neck, if one combines the different media reports.
