Lowe Details the Horrifying Attack

In an Instagram video posted to his account on Monday, Lowe recounted the terrifying experience. “On Thursday, I was having some friends of mine over to barbecue. Catherine took the kids to the mall, and we’re just barbecuing here on my patio…some of the smoke from the barbecue started to drift inside, and our smoke alarm started going off.”

“So I grab a dish rag and I’m going over to waft the smoke away from the smoke alarm….” Lowe recalled. “And as I’m holding the dish rag, Moose comes up and, like, bites it and kind of nips my finger really aggressively, which is something that he does not do. So, you know, I kind of gave him a, ‘No Moose.’”

He went on, “At this point again, there’s so much chaos going on with the alarm going off, I give him like a very stern like, ‘Moose. No. No.’ And it was right about that moment where he shows his teeth at me and just attacks me, and I don’t mean like bite and run off like a lot of dogs do when they’re scared or defensive. I mean, attacks me, and I feel him just kind of ripping into the flesh of my arm. And at this point, I am doing everything I possibly can just to fend this dog off.”

While he mentioned that he was “bleeding badly,” he managed to get Moose into his backyard. “He comes back through the door and attacks me for a second time…I honestly just felt like I am fighting for my life here against a dog,” he remembered. Lowe needed several stitches for his injuries. Once he got home, he planned to call animal control. He also was going to call the adoption agency where he and his wife got Moose. However, before he could do that, the dog attacked him again. Moose was taken away by authorities and Lowe had to return to the ER to get more stitches.
