Sean Lowe, who was attacked last week by his rescue boxer Moose, had to rebuild another rescue dog a few years after he broke one of his children.
The 41 -year -old dog lover and the star of the 17th season of “The Bachelor”, who is still married to Rose's final receiver, Catherine (Giudici) Lowe, said in a video published on Monday that he had been roasting with friends at his home in Dallas last week when the smoke from the barbecue left the smoke alarm inside the house. The internal sound, combined with Sean Lowe stirring a rag to try to clear the smoke, seemed to trigger Alces, who attacked its owner, tearing one of Lowe's arms in the process.
Catherine and her children, Samuel, 8, Isaiah, 6 and Mia 5, were shopping during the first attack. Sean said there was a video of surveillance of the attack, but that it was “too violent” for him to share.
The next day, when Lowe was in the front courtyard with his children and his parents, who were about to spend the day out of the house, Moose ran through the main door and attacked again, this time biting the other Lowe arm. Lowe said he managed to fight the boxer “so strong … so explosive” on the ground and held it there for 10 minutes until the police arrived.
Both attacks resulted in trips to the emergency room and stitches for Lowe. You could see bruises that fader in the video around the wounds in Lowe's arms.
While it was clear in the video that Moose was no longer in the Lowe family house, it is not clear exactly what happened to him. Sean Lowe never mentioned euthanasia. Rather, he simply said they really missed his dog.
After the first attack, Lowe said, he called the local animals control and got an officer who also had a boxer and was “very understanding.” The officer told Lowe to make his planned calls to his animal adoption agency and some shelters without killing and then called him, saying that they would “solve this together.”
Previously, the Lowe family had a bull mastin rescue, Gus, who bit his son Samuel in 2023 after the child tried to bend and caress him. The animal had previously shown signs of “resources protection” and aggression with my daughter. After the bite, Samuel got “a trip to the emergency room and a basic element in the head,” Lowe said at that time, by page six.
“So as much as I love that dog [Gus]First I have to protect my children. But he is in a great home and we will still see it occasionally, ”said Lowe, according to People.
It turns out that Gus went to live with Lowes dog coach.
“He is going very well,” Lowe wrote at that time in an Instagram story obtained by Page Six. “I miss it as you would not believe, but one of my answered prayers was that he found a great home (in my mind, the best). My dog coach asked him if he could take him as his own personal dog. Now he is going to work every day and be close to other dogs.”
With Moose, there was no clear answer about his destiny, at least not yet. But it does not sound as if the dog was knocked down.
“I don't blame Moose,” Lowe said in the video. “It was not Moose. I think it is clear that he experienced a lot of trauma before having it.”
And what happened, he said, something about the smoke alarm “turned this switch” in Moose. The people of animal adoption told him that they did not know the events in the life of the dog that would have led to this.
“We are torn about it,” Lowe said. “We really are. We miss our dog … It was a very, very good dog. And we miss him.”
