PHENIX CITY, Ala. (WRBL) – The Phenix City Police Department is investigating a deadly dog attack. According to police, Frank Cobb age 70, was attacked by a Pitbull in Phenix City early Wednesday morning. Cobb was found laying in a dirt driveway with severe injuries when officers arrived.

Following the attack, police say Cobb was taken to Piedmont Columbus Regional Hospital. Due to the severity of his injuries, Cobb was transported to Grady Health in Atlanta, where he passed away in the evening on Sept. 21, 2021.

A video posted to Facebook was taken of Cobb as he laid in the dirt, pleading for help. Cobb’s family confirms it is Cobb in the video. News 3 has obtained the footage but has chosen to not show it due to the graphic images.

The incident happened in the 100 block of 17th Avenue, in Phenix City.

News 3 spoke with the family, and they say Cobb underwent surgery at Grady Hospital in Atlanta where they tried to re-attach his limbs. Cobb was in the ICU and passed shortly after. Family members say Frank Cobb was a sweet guy, who was full of life, that loved to talk to people.

Police confirmed an aggressive large black dog was seen in the area when they arrived on the scene. An officer did attempt to taze the dog, however, it is unknown if it was successful. A dog was later found on US HWY 431 South, dead after being struck by a vehicle, which fit the description of the dog that attacked the victim.

Pretty much the only thing I agree with the Brits in regards to government is they do not allow people to have those piece of shite animals.

We ought to treat those frickers like hogs and coyotes.

I hope they find out who hit it so they can be lauded for their community service.

I also don't like dogs. I don't like any kind of dogs. I think people are generally too loose with their dogs out in public, which has led to my dislike of dogs to grow.

But a lot of people would label me a monster because I don't like dogs.

Man, even dog owners don't know how to handle their own dogs.

formerly lived in a neighborhood where pits where a problem with one home owner. I never took a walk without a good knife or the doberman. The pits were aggressive. If they would have attacked me I am slitting pit throats- and I am a dog lover
Sheriffs dept finally convinced home owner to get rid of dogs or move

Living in the gulf and in this time can you imagine surviving hurricanes and a pandemic only to be done in by a dog.

Sometimes I think I'm wrong about pits when people defend them, but then I see a story like this.

It's always a pitbull

You people just need to start a foundation to eliminate pit bulls at this point. It’s gotten way past a crusade. It’s now more like a purpose for your life. I’ve not seen anything like this. It’s gotten a bit weird to be honest.

Two and a half year old girl in Greenville, al got caught up in a fight between her parents pit bulls yesterday and reportedly lost half her facial skin. Had to be life flighted to children's hospital in Birmingham. The rumor is she was bitten by one of the dogs a few months ago also. The parents of this child should be ashamed of themselves for having those dogs around her for the first bite much less the second. This childs life is ruined even if she survives.

I find your thoughts on this subject totally discussing.

What needs to happen is any owner of a pit serve jail time after an attack on anyone that was not defending the inside of a home. Including life crippling fines, PS I do not give any fricks for you pit defenders.

I agree with one caveat. Any dog breed that attacks a person causing death or serious injury not in defense of life or property should result in the same penalties you mention, if it is shown the owner(s) were negligent.

There are plenty of news stories about dog attacks that are not pit bulls. The German Shepherd has more than it's fair share of those stories.

Similar situation happened in Ville Platte few years back. Elderly lady walking in street picking up cans for a little cash is attacked in the street & eventually dies from wounds of pit bull. Owner of dog had charges pressed against him. Not sure of outcome for dog or owner, but if it had been my mother who was attacked, I would probably look at getting my pound of flesh on that pit bull and suing owner for wrongful death. My condolensces to the family. Also, I love dogs!!
