This resident of Noyen-sur-Sarthe (Sarthe) intervened at the end of the afternoon, avenue du Maine, to defend a teenager attacked in the middle of the road by three dogs, American Staffordshire Terriers, Saturday August 20, 2022.
Severely affected, especially in the lower body, he had difficulty moving a chair to sit. “I was attacked everywhere, except my face and back,” he said.
“At night, I saw the scene again”
For the rest of his life, he would bear the scars of this shocking event.
I left the hospital in the evening from Saturday to Sunday. They gave me 11 stitches. Every day, a nurse comes to your home, and that is, for 15 days.
The wounds were also psychological, although, after four days, he said he was better. “The first night was difficult. I saw the scene again,” he said.
Before adding: “I don’t think I’m going to make one dog phobia. But maybe a fear vis-à-vis this race, because they are not small”.
“I make dogs come to me”
Despite treatment, she said she still suffers from her injuries. When he narrated the events, his narrative was sometimes interrupted by the moans of PAIN.
“Five to ten minutes when dogs attack you is a long time,” he began. While with his daughter cycling near his house, Kévin heard suspicious noises and drove to the roundabout on Avenue du Maine, near the residence des Métiers. “Around 5:15-5:30 pm »
As he got closer, he saw a 15-year-old girl being attacked by three dogs.
I had a reflex to help him and I brought the dogs closer to me allowing him to get out. I am happy with my move.
“I cried blood”
Despite the bites, he managed to get up to grab his son’s bicycle to serve as a shield. “That’s when they got scared and left. »
It was one of his friends who came to help him. “I peed blood. »
Firefighters and police arrived at the scene.
I stayed there for a while, while we disinfected the wounds, took pictures…
It is especially at the level of the ribs, heels and lower legs that the resident is the most severely affected.
The mayor of the town, Jean-Louis Morice, pointed out that these dogs went through a blood test “compared to anger. That was the priority.”
Euthanasia: the procedure is still ongoing
Rest in peace Kévin who will soon celebrate his 30th birthday. “I have to take care of my injuries to recover,” he added. Before repeating one last time, “I did that just to help this little girl”.
The young man hopes to euthanize the three dogs. “Because once they taste blood, it’s over,” he said.
A procedure has been initiated in this direction by the mayor. This Wednesday, August 24, the city councilor pointed out that the work is still ongoing.
Now we need the observation of veterinarians. I expect to receive it in a dozen days.
The decision will depend on the comments made.
