Surveillance video shows pit bulls slipping through dog doors and attacking pets

A Texas family's security camera captured two pit bulls entering their home through doggy doors and assaulting the household dogs, leaving blood everywhere.

A surveillance system recorded two pit bulls using the doggy doors of a Texas residence to gain entry and attack the family's dogs, resulting in a scene described as "blood everywhere." The homeowner, who declined to be identified, called the event a fluke and noted the dogs' prior calm behavior. Officials from Montgomery County Animal Services later met with the affected family and the pit bull owners, and issued a statement acknowledging the tragedy and the ongoing investigation.

The agency said it could not comment further while the case remains open. Nearby residents voiced concerns about the possibility of a repeat attack and urged more than a simple citation as a response. The incident has sparked discussion about pet-door security and animal control policies.

Why it matters

It underscores the safety risks of unsecured pet doors and the need for effective animal control measures.
