A pedophile has been left with “life-altering” injuries after climbing through
the bedroom window of two young children, only to be greeted by their pet
bulldog who bit his p3nis off. 52-year-old Randle James of Saline County,
Arkansas, climbed into the 1st-floor window of the small family home into the
room where the two young sisters were sleeping after passing by and seeing the
open window.
After climbing into the room of the 3 and 6-year-old sisters,
James got more than he bargained for when family’s Pitt Pull Terrier leaped to
the girl’s defence. The dog severed the rapist’s genitals clean off and
swallowed his p3nis and testicles.
The
commotion alerted the children’s parents who called emergency services. According
to the father of the children, after calling the police, the attacker was in so
much pain that he didn’t attempt to make an escape. James was rushed to the
hospital where doctors treated his wounds but said they were unable to rescue
his genitalia after it had been swallowed by the pet bulldog. Hospital staff
said they were able to “patch him up,” and while he lost a lot of blood and was
clearly in a lot of pain, he would survive.
They added that although his
injuries were no-longer life-threatening, they were “certainly
life-altering.”The family, who can’t be named, said they are just thankful
their dog was there to protect the young girls from the attacker. The mother of
the girls said:
“He’s
our hero. He’ll be eating steak for a week now.”
Local
residents described the incident, which happened around 2 am on Monday, as
being “very unusual” for the neighbourhood. One neighbour said they always leave
windows open at night, saying, “we never worry about something like this
happening around here.”Another local resident described being awoken by the
“screaming” during the incident:
“I
think it woke everyone in the neighbourhood up.”I’ve never heard anything like
it.”Blood-curdling screams that sounded like something from a horror movie.”It
must have lasted 20 minutes.”When I heard what happened I thought, ‘no wonder!’” Then
I thought, ‘good. Good doggy.’”
Lt.
Dodson of the Saline County Sherrif’s Office said in a statement said the
family was “lucky” their pet was able to protect them from a potential sexual
assault, adding: “A man entered a family home with unlawful intentions and
luckily their family dog was able to prevent a serious attack from taking
place.”We are currently investigating a complaint of an attempted sexual
assault and will be taking a suspect into custody as soon as he has recovered
from his injuries.”The dog has yet to pass the attackers genitals after
swallowing them, but the family said, “there’s no rush; he won’t need them now.
