Imagine a man trying to bite one of his own ten attacking poodles still managing to bite the owner of the dog his dogs are attacking. That was no fucking accident.
And these are supposedly service dogs in training?

Who let those dogs out?

The apparently locally notorious owner, Frank Mallat
Here is a video from his own website:

Note that these are standard poodles, not mini or toy breeds. Ten 40-80lb dogs attacking is no joke.

A standard poodle makes a good watchdog. But I just can't imagine a pack of poodles in pursuit...

That's not a poodle

That’s the dog they attacked- a 13 year old corgi. As the owner of a 14 year old Aussie, I feel extra bad for her person. She is getting care and she will likely recover, but this is no doubt going to shorten the time she has left and dramatically decrease the her quality of life, too.

Couldnt bother to read a caption eh?

I used to live up here and it's a very calm quiet area. Especially Trinidad. I could only imagine how insane that must've been.

This guy is everywhere with his dogs- I swear I see them at least once a month.

Poodles can be very large. I can't even imagine surviving this.
Nakedstar OP t1_iweae2w wrote
There have been follow up articles where the gentleman claims he did not bite and that only one of his dogs was actively attacking- the others just swarming. The corgi ended up with half her body shaved and lots of stitches or staples, though.

That is still awful.

"when a pack of 10 standard poodles jumped out of a car". Cue the circus music

This is like the first vicious unprovoked dog attack that I've heard of in decades that didn't involve a pit bull.

That’s because “pit bull” is click bait. Other dogs attack far more often, it’s just not interesting to report on.

I am a dog owner and see lots of very friendly pitties at the dog park and in the neighborhood. But let's not be ignorant of actual statistics. The majority of fatal attacks in the US are by Staffies or their derivatives.
ed: yes I know fatal and the original comment was simply attack, but yeah.

Also when nobody dies or loses a leg is less newsworthy, so Pitbulls get all the stories.

That may be the weirdest article I've ever read.
