8 News Now spoke with the owners of the dog that was killed.
“I didn’t expect anything like this to happen,” said Mary Karle, Nikolai’s owner.

The other dog bit his hind leg and didn’t let go.
“The only thing on it, according to the vet, was his bone and his tendon, but the pad of his foot, they said, had been chewed off along with all of his skin and tissue,” revealed Karle.
Karle said the wooden fence between both properties is about 25-years-old. Her husband started reinforcing it last year with plywood but never finished it.
“We can tell where the wood was chewed up,” Karle showed us on the fence.
She said she was at work during the ordeal. She didn’t check the notifications from Ring, assuming her dogs were playing in the backyard. She came home hours later and found Nikolai.
“All I saw was blood … he had been bleeding out all day.”
Henderson Animal Care and Control left a complaint notice on the neighbor’s door and are investigating.
Karle’s message after all of this is if you have a dog, check your backyard and make sure fences and gates are secure.
We also checked the Henderson municipal code, which does acknowledge dangerous animals. If a dog is declared dangerous, an animal control officer can impound the dog.
Henderson Police did not say whether the dog is in Animal Control’s care tonight.

This is ghastly! The pit bull is pregnant! These are savage animals that don't deserve to live!
I cannot believe we allow this to continue. What is wrong with us? This is abhorrent dog behavior!
Just last week, the pit bull from across the street was behind my back yard fence. I called the police and animal control. I am so sick of living in fear! Do I have to wait until something like this happens before something is done? The answer is YES! Warnings is all my neighbor gets. This has been going on for year, YEARS!
I hate pit bulls. I hate nutters even more!
@Anonymous, next time make sure no person or camera sees you do what you have to. Stay safe!
