On 01/25/2024 at approximately 1225 hours, Butler Officers were advised of a dog attack that had occurred at 616 W Ohio Street. The attack occurred when a FedEx delivery driver was attempting to deliver a package.

One Butler Officer responded to the Bates County Memorial Hospital to make contact with the victim who transported himself to the Emergency Room once he was able to escape from the dogs. Other Butler Officers responded to the residence in which the attack occurred.

The victim advised that when the resident of 616 W. Ohio Street opened the door to their residence, four pit bull dogs came out of the residence and attacked him. The victim sustained serious injuries as a result of the vicious attack and was transported to a trauma center in Kansas City after receiving initial treatment at the Bates County Memorial Hospital.

The Officers that responded to 616 West Ohio Street made contact with the owner of the dogs, identified as Dolan Rich. The Officers observed seven total dogs at the residence. The Officers took custody of the four dogs involved in the attack and transported them to the City of Butler kennel. Due to the danger that these vicious dogs presented to the community, they were humanely euthanized.

Dolan Rich received a total of 10 citations for Owning Vicious Dogs, Exceeding Animal Limit, Allowing Dogs to Run At Large, and Failure to Register Dogs. Other charges in relation to this incident are pending review from the Prosecuting Attorney at this time.

Owning a pitbull should be illegal along with other wild animals.

I’m certain these dogs stayed in the doorway, growled, gave warning signs to the intruder, listened to the owner, and resisted the urge to attack. It really sounds like the delivery driver gave them no choice.

I don't understand why someone wants the potential liability. Are they really that much better of a companion than other breeds?

In before a relative of the pit bull owner is quoted saying “they never did anything like that before!”

Kill all pitbulls.

I love how each one of these pitbull threads runs through the exact same set of comments.

If you have a problem with pit bulls then you have a problem with this guy.



I suggest you let that one marinate.

I like Pit Bulls, as long as they are served medium rare…

What about dog spray? My son is a USPS driver and always has dog spray on him. That’s some bs if they aren’t allowed to have any protection.

If it always boils down to “it’s not the dog, it’s the owner”

Then can we raise the requirements for being an owner of these dogs?

Way back in the day, fedex had a shortage of drivers and they had this program where active duty military would be auto hired so I figured could use some extra cash. The route they wanted me to run was the absolute worst of the worst in Miami. My response was “wait so you want me to roll through the hood in a huge white van that screams, I’ve got good shit, rob me, and I can’t carry?! I’m out.” No ****ing way.
