Two pit bulls from Norwich were euthanized Friday, a day after a mail carrier was hospitalized after being attacked by the dogs.
The mail carrier, Jeff Glenn of Norwich, was listed in fair condition with multiple bite wounds and possible broken bones at The William W. Backus Hospital.
The 8-month-old dogs, Miracle and Fatboi, snarled from behind their cage doors at the dog pound Friday morning. They were euthanized with approval from their owner, David Holland Jr., 19, police said. The dogs will be tested for rabies because they were not vaccinated, Norwich Police Lt. William Molis said.
Records show the two dogs come from a line of vicious dogs that have caused problems in the past, though only one complaint was made last year from 24 Harland Place, where the two dogs lived. Molis said the two dozen complaints that have been made about residents at that address since 2006 were mostly for noise disturbances and reports of suspicious activity.
damn its becuase of these horrible owners out there that are causing pitbulls to have to be euthinized
