Couple tried to break up a dog fight.

BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. — The former mayor of this city of almost 40,000 was hospitalized and her husband died after the couple's pet dogs attacked them, according to the current mayor.

Former Mayor Diane Vick and her husband, Tom, tried to intervene after one of their larger dogs attacked one of their smaller dogs, but the dogs turned on them and attacked them, Mayor Jack Hakim said. They were flown to a hospital in Las Vegas.

Tom Vick and his wife tried to break up a fight Saturday evening between the family's boxer and cocker spaniel, police said. The boxer attacked both of them.

Tom Vick, 64, who taught social studies at Mohave High School, died of his injuries Sunday, Hakim said. Diane Vick "was pretty well beat up," but Hakim didn't believe her injuries were critical.

Hakim called the incident "pretty devastating."

"We've had dog bites before but never something like this," he said. "It's very sad for us in Bullhead City. She was former mayor and he was a prominent high school teacher at Mohave High School. ... We're just grateful that at least one of them was able to survive."

The dogs are being held at the Bullhead City Animal Control facility.

This dog be like dude you no know say i dey smoke weed you won mess with me

hmm. may his soul rest in peace oo. that's why I hate living with dogs cos they can attack their owner anytime.
there was a day I was coming back from somewhere. I don't really know the place so I decided not to go with my car. when I came back, I was holding my documents in my hands. this useless dog was lying under the car ( its a rot weiler) don't know if I spelt it well. the dog was looking at me and I too was extra conscious. immediately I opened my gate to step in, it jumped up and wanted to attach me. I flung all my papers, my hand bag and even my slippers. I ran for my dear life. it was the gateman who had to hold the dog for me to pass.
when hubby came back and I told him, he said the dog was trying to greet me. I told him to tell his dog to hold his greetings cos I don't need it.
I beg hubby to move it out. now the dog is in hubby's home town..

One of the major reasons I'm so scared of dogs. I don't think I can ever be a dog owner!


RIP to the man and I'm sure the wife will never ever have anything to do with having dogs as pets again.

I ve 2 rottweilers and I m presently trying to get a pitt bull. I am not a vet but I ve had at least a dog around me in the past 20years and from my experience u need to bend and if possible break your kennel whenever, however or else.

I knew it can be in Nigeria!

Baddest Dog Ever Liveth

This is how a human being just dies over separating "fight" between 2 dogs that ended up remaining alive o!
There are times when I wish I had a dog as a pet.....this ain't one of those times

That doggie in reference should urgently be transferred to CALABABAR to be eaten as a special end of year peper soup

Wht a world... So many people in the world now.. Uses LION As Pet now-adays!

@Post

Its unfortunate but this story will not deter me from being a dog owner. Seeing that it happened in Arizona USA, why couldn't the couple hire a professional dog behaviorist or dog trainer when the dog first bit them in the past? It is obvious that having 2 dogs in the home that never got along was a bad idea from the start and eventually lead to this unfortunate incident. Lesson: Don't get a second dog if you are not sure that the first dog already in the home will tolerate it.

See the dog face like madam tpia own .

Something similar happened at Ikoyi. A rottweiler ate d left leg of d owner's son cos it was hungry.... D lil'boy was flew to India for surgery and his leg ended up being amputated... D man shot d dog with his own gun...
