SCIPIO TOWNSHIP, MI (WTVB) – The four dogs involved in a violent attack on a 31-year-old woman and her 12-year-old cousin in Hillsdale County have been euthanized according to a news release from Hillsdale County Prosecutor’s office. ,
The incident occurred on Mosherville Road in Scipio Township when the mixed-breed pit bull-mastiff animals broke a lock on their outdoor enclosure and escaped.
The dogs initially ambushed the young girl while she was riding a scooter , prompting her adult cousin Jannell Boot to intervene. Both victims suffered severe lacerations across their bodies and faces, requiring the 12-year-old to be airlifted to C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor for emergency treatment.
According to the Hillsdale County Prosecutor’s Office, the dogs’ owner, Holley Krasnodemski, and her son ultimately assisted in pulling the animals away and securing them back inside.
A subsequent investigation revealed that none of the four dogs were registered, and only one had an undocumented history of a rabies vaccination.
While the immediate threat has been neutralized following the destruction of the animals, the Michigan State Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the escape.
The full case file will be reviewed by prosecutors to determine if criminal charges will be filed against Krasnodemski.
