"Michael Palmer is a broken man.
He lives in fear, crashes on friends’ couches and feels uncomfortable when strangers stare at him.
This is all new to Palmer, now 51.
In December 2022, Palmer was viciously attacked by a friend's pit bull at her Green home. Piper, the dog, bit off his ears, thumbs, an index finger and part of his nose.
Palmer can no longer work as a machinist, play guitar or pick up small items."
"Palmer was attacked by his neighbor Wendy Trippett’s pit bull when he went to her house in the early morning hours of Dec. 20, 2022. He said she invited him in and, when he started to open the door, the dog pounced.
The attack lasted nearly 15 minutes. The dog dragged Palmer onto the snow-covered ground and bit off chunks of his flesh and body parts while wagging its tail. The assault ended when a Summit County sheriff’s deputy shot and killed the dog."

"Every year across the state, tens of thousands of Ohioans are mauled by dogs, sometimes suffering catastrophic injuries, long-lasting trauma and crushing medical costs.
Avery Russell, 11, of Columbus, is facing years of surgeries to rebuild her nose, repair scars and replace her ears after being attacked by pit bulls while on a playdate with a friend in June."
And the Echelbarger family is struggling to make sense of how two pit bulls − who were on the radar for the neighborhood, police and dog warden − viciously killed Jo Echelbarger, 73, as she worked on her garden outside her condo in Pickaway County.
It frightened me. Video in the link below.
