Family suing city of Detroit, the pet owners after man mauled by dogs 02:21

(CBS DETROIT) – The family of Harold Phillips has retained Fieger Law after three dogs mauled a father of six .

He’s not doing good, we’re just praying,” said Shauntaye Phillips.

Phillips’s husband, Harold Phillips, was viciously attacked by three dogs as he left a bus stop Monday night near Long Acre and West Chicago Road.

“The dogs bit a pretty big hole out of his arm and tore his artery, so he lost a lot of blood. He is on dialysis. He has to keep getting transfusions. They cut off his right arm,” Shauntaye Phillips said.

Harold Phillips, 35, had to have his arm amputated because of his injuries. Sadly, Shauntaye said the prognosis doesn’t look good. To make matters worse, the family is celebrating their daughter’s 8th birthday with her father fighting for his life in the hospital.

“He is in a medical-induced coma, his kidneys aren’t doing good, his enzyme levels are really high, he is supposed to be at 35, and he’s at 7,800,” Shauntaye Phillips said.
