Detroit, MI — The owners of a dozen dogs that attacked Steven Constantine on Oct 2 are not currently facing any criminal charges, but are being sued, based on a Friday filing by Mark Bernstein of the Sam Bernstein Law Firm. The lawsuit says the pack of nearly 12 dogs, some of them puppies according to Detroit police, attacked Constantine on the 4500 block of Pennsylvania and “began eating him alive.” They’re owned by Derrick and Elizabeth C. Felton, according to the lawsuit. When police arrived, they shot and killed one of the dogs, causing the remaining to flee into the nearby home from where they’d escaped. Police and animal control workers removed and euthanized the dogs, described as pit bulls. Constantine lay in the hospital in critical condition. He is recovering but had his left arm amputated, underwent multiple surgeries to his limbs and torso, and is without use of his right hand and foot, which suffered paralysis and may also be amputated, the $25,000-plus lawsuit says.
