Approximately 4.5 million people a year across the nation are victims of dog bites. More than 300,000 people are admitted to hospitals every year for treatment of dog bite wounds.
Mickey the pit bull, the dog that “rose to fame” after he mauled 4-year-old Kevin Vicente last February, just became a TV star.
The Final Ruling on Mickey the Pit Bull Phoenix Municipal Court Judge Deborah Griffith has ruled that Mickey, the pit bull that mauled 4-year-old Kevin Vicente earlier this year, will spend the rest of its life in a no-kill animal shelter that was opened in 2000 by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
