On her birthdays, she'd encourage family and friends to donate to fundraisers benefiting the ASPCA and other animal rescue groups."She was an amazing soul," says Jayne Petty, a friend of 25 years."She put her animals above everyone and called them her 'four legged children'."That's why it's so difficult for them to grasp how Urso lost her life -- mauled to death by her pet French bulldog mix in her home.
Urso owned three male dogs: Blue, a two-year-old French bulldog mix weighing 55 pounds; Rocco, a smaller 2-year-old French bulldog weighing 36 pounds; and Spike, a 25-pound, 15-year-old collie mix. They were found in healthy condition. "There was no indication to think that this home was anything other than a typical pet friendly home," said Robin Van Sickle, program manager at the Lake County Animal Care and Control center.
Past incidents with BlueBlue was known to the local police department and Animal Care and Control center after two recent incidents. Blue bit Urso's boyfriend in her home on April 13, causing him to seek out medical attention, said Lake County Police Cmdr. Dawn Deservi. At the time, Blue was put in an at-home quarantine to observe for rabies.
Blue weighed 55 pounds"A lot of people are thinking that this was a very small dog, and people don't understand, this dog weighed 55 pounds," Cooper, the coroner, said. "It's still a substantial size dog."Initial news of a death caused by a French bulldog surprised the staff at the animal control center, Van Sickle said."When this first came up, we were like, no, that's not possible. There's no way a French bulldog killed its owner.
What was it mixed with
GovMurphy planned it!
Was she bedridden We're talking about a Frenchie mix , right ?
This is an adult french bulldog. How do you get kill by that?!
Reads as though maybe the boyfriend was abusing the dog
I don't believe that....
Sad. Will it be added to the inflated Corona virus death map?
This is very rare! I dunno wat this woman could have done for this dog to kill her!🤦♂️👎
This is bad but...maybe if she used Peter Pan instead of Jif it might not have happened.
Sorry, Don. you know CNN is gonna try to pin this on you.
She was probably a shitty pet owner
😡
Until all details are known, a story like this should not have been published. This is sensationalist click bait. If a grown woman is attacked by a dog, she is not just going to stand there. She could run, she would scream. Has anyone heard her screaming in the backyard?
A 58 pound French Bulldog, mix? That ain’t right.
I would have killed that dog!
💔
They could've used a better photo.
That's not a Frenchie mix. Its a bully mix with prick ears. Doesn't surprise me at all a backyard bred disaster killed yet another person.
Thats weak
typical french
Bastard
Mixed with what? These dogs are too small to do that much damage. Was she unconscious?
OWWNERS. OF. THESE. KILLER DOGS. LOVE TO PLAY. OSTRICH DEFENDING. THESE KILLERS. AS. BUNN6. RABBITS. IN DRAG
This is hard to imagine. I would assume this is a very rare case.
Wait, how could this not be a COVID-19 death. Come on CNN do your job. In all seriousness this is very sad. I really hate this type of news. I hope for peace and comfort to the family.
Is t a French bull dog the size of a large cat ?
As a kid my husky shepherd mix bit my little sister and some small dog in Stockton bit me as I walked on the sidewalk. Just out of the blue. Saw it after
No offense but why is this on cnn
This is crazy, this poor woman loved her animals. 😢 I’m so sorry and praying for her family and friends!
I don't think the dog killed the woman...must be her male *friend*
I don’t think she died from a dog attack. And also how do they know WHICH dog attacked her, she had 3?
Oh well. No matter how much you warn these idiots about these pit fighting dogs, they never listen until it is too late.
Last words: Oooohhh he wouldn’t hurt his nummy nummy now would you my widdle bobo.
Amy Klobuchar?
That is racist , at least was not black lap
Frenchies faces are punched in & do not lock their teeth or jaws very well. It would be like being mauled by a 55 pound pug. This seems off to me...but I guess stranger things have happened; like when Covid came to town.
I call bullschnit.
Ok, after reading the article, the dog is a mix weighing 55 lbs, and had bit other people in the household in the recent past. This was a troubled dog. We don't know why, but I would not keep a dog in my home that has bit others in the home. That's risky business.
All I have is more questions. No chance that dog weighs 55 lbs. where were the other dogs? How is there not more overall description in this. A woman was killed by her French bulldog? What?!
Mix? Mixed with what? A Mastiff?
And the libs are blaming Trump
How do you get killed by a French bull dog ? CNN always come up with dumb stories lmao
? She mustve treated him poorly if she got killed by French Bulldog mix
R.I.P.
CNN on top of the real stories.
For this dog to be double the average French bulldog weight it'd have to have been crossed with a very much larger breed, that's for sure.
How can a grown woman not fight off a French bulldog? This is ridiculous
This seems kind of weird. While the dog might weigh 55 lbs, it looks short. I don't understand how this could happen, unless she was lying down...just sad....
More 🐂 💩
The dog may have been jealous of the relationship between her and the boyfriend as he was bit first ,or possible leader of the pack because there were three, showing dominance toward her, very sad needless to say.
You talk on this but Elderly abuse goes silent! THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK
badday... praying....
People have to be very careful, no matter how much you love your pet don't forget they're still animal. They can be angry and attack you no matter how much you love them.
Barely news. Dog breed doesn’t matter.
Bulldog? Ok,i thought pitbull.
Hear comes all the cunts..... Fake news...... I don’t believe this story...... A bulldog couldn’t do that..... What am I missing
Huh?
Covid19 claims another.
The dog was watching Trump on TV! And got that angry with His bullshit, It turned on his owner , who openly confessed to voting for him!
This is french bulldog. What was the mix?
breaking news!!!!!!!!! realDonaldTrump condones this act with his silence. Just shameful. CNN
This is so sad! I wonder why she didn't rehome him or seek intense behavioral intervention after the first two biting incidents? I feel terrible for her loved ones and friends and a bit sad for the dog too. They aren't kids. Sad story all around.
Lots of pet owners raping dogs and dog is not willing to, cuz in these days animal lovers are use to do such things, girls always like dogs.
'And He Shall Kill With The Beast.'(Revelations 6:8, Holy Bible)
Hard to imagine. French bulldogs are pretty small. Must have a doberman in the woodpile somewhere.
Stay away from women who keep male Dogs 😎😎😎
Samonahan22
she must have dropped dead or something, , she could have ran away, the dog couldnt have been over 12 inches tall by the picture
She chose. . .poorly.
Any dog attacks you when he’s in danger so he defends himself - trained to kill - been abused ... sorry for the ladie, stop blaming the dog and look what kind of owner they have.Animals have emotions as well they are children if you treat them badly etc they go against you!
Blue was 55 pounds. “The AKC Standard weight for a French Bulldog is maximum 28 pounds.”
So sad.
Covid related
Bitch should have listened
someone might have perpetrated the killing and just puts the blame on the dog; criminals learn a lot of tricks from just watching movies and tv series
The dog is pictured on the left.
Yeh, I doubt this entire story.
He had already bitten her boyfriend TWICE and had been quarantined for it. She had warnings the dog was a biter. How awful.
This is what you get when you point one finger to someone and the four other fingers coming for you🙄🤦
did she live in florida?
