A woman was mauled to death by her pet French bulldog mix in her home, officials say
On her birthdays, she'd encourage family and friends to donate to fundraisers benefiting the ASPCA and other animal rescue groups."She was an amazing soul," says Jayne Petty, a friend of 25 years."She put her animals above everyone and called them her 'four legged children'."That's why it's so difficult for them to grasp how Urso lost her life -- mauled to death by her pet French bulldog mix in her home.
Urso owned three male dogs: Blue, a two-year-old French bulldog mix weighing 55 pounds; Rocco, a smaller 2-year-old French bulldog weighing 36 pounds; and Spike, a 25-pound, 15-year-old collie mix. They were found in healthy condition. "There was no indication to think that this home was anything other than a typical pet friendly home," said Robin Van Sickle, program manager at the Lake County Animal Care and Control center.
Past incidents with BlueBlue was known to the local police department and Animal Care and Control center after two recent incidents. Blue bit Urso's boyfriend in her home on April 13, causing him to seek out medical attention, said Lake County Police Cmdr. Dawn Deservi. At the time, Blue was put in an at-home quarantine to observe for rabies.
Blue weighed 55 pounds"A lot of people are thinking that this was a very small dog, and people don't understand, this dog weighed 55 pounds," Cooper, the coroner, said. "It's still a substantial size dog."Initial news of a death caused by a French bulldog surprised the staff at the animal control center, Van Sickle said."When this first came up, we were like, no, that's not possible. There's no way a French bulldog killed its owner.
