Sean Lowe, known for his appearance on "The Bachelor," recently experienced a distressing incident at his home involving his adopted dog, Moose. The boxer, whom Lowe welcomed into his family in December from an animal adoption agency, unexpectedly attacked him last Thursday. The attack was triggered when smoke from a barbecue set off the fire alarm in Lowe's home.
The incident began inside the house when Moose bit a dish rag and nipped Lowe's finger aggressively. The situation escalated when Moose attacked him a second time in the backyard. Following the attack, Lowe was rushed to the hospital where doctors administered stitches in five or six different places on his arm.
In the aftermath of the attack, Lowe reached out to animal control and the adoption agency for guidance. He also contacted no-kill shelters as he navigated the difficult decision of finding a new home for Moose. With young children in the household, Lowe expressed concerns about safety and the need to protect his family.
"I've got young kids, and I've got to be concerned about my own safety," Sean Lowe stated, reflecting on the seriousness of the situation.
The decision to give Moose away has been a challenging one for Lowe and his wife, Catherine Giudici. Both are heartbroken by the turn of events and are struggling to reconcile with the new reality of their family situation.
"I was just trying to figure out the best plan of action," Lowe explained, highlighting the complexity involved in making such a decision.
Lowe recounted the terrifying moments during the attack, noting Moose's strength and unpredictability.
"This dog is so strong, he's so explosive, but I'm able to wrestle him to the ground," Lowe shared.
"And I just know, like, I'm fighting for my life here — like, I feel like if this dog gets up, he is going to kill me, and I — again, it's so bizarre, because it's my dog who I was literally kissing on the head just a day prior," he added.
The incident has left a significant emotional impact on Lowe as he grapples with missing Moose while acknowledging the necessity of placing him in a safer environment.
