Pet owners demand action after neighbor's pit bulls have attacked dogs in Brooklyn building

A Brooklyn couple is demanding a neighbor be held accountable for an attack by his pit bulls that left their French bulldog badly injured.

Diane and Derrick Bradley are trying to pamper their 3-year-old French bulldog, Calypso, as the pup is still in pain following a vicious attack in the lobby of their Coney Island building Sunday morning.

The couple can be seen on video desperately trying to rescue the small dog from the grip of two pit bulls.

“I was screaming, literally screaming: ‘Please, can you please let your dog let go of my dog.’ I fainted at one point and when I came round her head was still in his mouth,” said Diane Bradley.

She said one dog had Calypso’s head in its mouth, the other was latched onto her bottom. With Derrick’s help, they managed to get Calypso free — but cellphone video then shows the owner of the other dogs punching the canines repeatedly.

“When he came back, he gave me the leash, that’s when he start that’s when he start pounding when he start pounding the dog,” Derrick Bradley said.

Calypso’s leash broke in half during the attack. She needed multiple stitches and nearly lost her eye.

“I cried and I cried and I cried til I couldn’t cry. He cried because she’s our family,” Diane said.

Calypso isn’t the only little dog who’s recovering from a pit bull attack. Multiple other dogs in the area have allegedly been attacked by the same pit bulls — and the owners all want accountability.

Leshia Palmer’s Yorki mix, Milo, suffered four bite wounds in May.

“They attacked him, bit him like four times and caught him on the neck. Thank God he lived,” said Palmer.

There was also Denim, a small dog who worked as a therapy dog for domestic violence victims. According to her owner, Denim was killed by the same dogs.

In each case, police were called and they filed reports with the Department of Health. But nothing could be done, because in New York, a dog attack against another dog is not a crime.

“The reason why he’s getting away with it is because he knows the law can’t touch him,” Diane Bradley said.

“I’m enraged. Something has to get done,” said Palmer.

Residents of the building said the pit bulls are often off-leash and left to hang out in the hallway. They want the owner out of the building, and the dogs out of his care.
