Four years after his daughter was mauled, father also bitten in pit bull attack
***
The father of a Delaware girl who nearly lost her arm in a 2014 pit bull attack was bitten by two pit bulls himself on Saturday and is undergoing a series of rabies shots.
"I just turned around, and they just were on me," Todd Ruckle said in a video recorded from the hospital and posted on Facebook. "One was on my leg, and the other one came up to my face and got my lip, but that's not bad. My leg's the really bad one."
His daughter Emily Ruckle was mauled by a pit bull named Frank while at the family's home in Newark. It was four years ago, this month. At the time, she was 8 years old.
***
In the first 12 hours after the attack, Emily essentially bled out four times. She underwent more than two years of surgeries and rehab to restore function to her arm. After a final surgery in 2016, she regained some of the function in her right hand.
***
After his daughter was attacked in 2014, Ruckle advocated for stronger animal control laws such as mandatory insurance for dog owners. The family received letters from pit bull advocates, wife Maria told The News Journal. One wrote that her daughter should have been shot instead of the dog.
***
In March, Wilmington resident Diane Olin White also had a run in with a pit bull. She was walking her two dogs – Stella, a brown 50-pound boxer mix, and Darcy, a white 17-pound poodle and Jack Russell mix, when they were attacked by a stray.
Stella suffered puncture wounds and survived, but it was too late for Darcy.

The 2nd Amendment protects the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. There is no Constitutional right to harbor dangerous animals.
Guns don't kill people. Pit bulls kill people.

A toddler mauled by her family dog last week has died, according to authorities.
***
The child and her mother were playing in the yard of their Rocky Mount home when their 6-year-old pit bull attacked the child.
The mother called 911, pleading for help.
“I need some help. My dog is attacking my daughter. Hurry, she's dying. Please hurry,” the mother told a dispatcher, according to the 911 recording.
The dispatcher told the mother to pry open the dog's mouth, hit the dog on the head with a heavy object and use a knife to slit the dog's throat.
The mother did all that and tried to stab the dog as well, but it wouldn't release the girl, according to authorities.
When deputies arrived, the dog was still slinging the child around in its mouth.
A deputy shot the dog, but it didn't stop so the deputy had to shoot it twice. The dog then died.
The child was first taken to a local hospital, airlifted to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville and transported again to UNC Children's Hospital in Chapel Hill.
