Maupassant has a novel that tells such a story.
The heroine has a cruel idea of revenge because her son was killed, she ties pig blood sausages to the neck of the scarecrow, and then trains the dog to tear and bite the grass man, teaching it to shred and devour the grass man, even if there is no food on the grass man's neck, but the dog is very restless as long as it sees the grass man.
Later, the hostess found the enemy, and with an order, the dog immediately pounced on it like crazy, biting the throat of the other person and tearing it to pieces.
Dog training killing, not only in fictional worlds, there was a tragic case of dog abuse and killing of humans in Ohio, USA, and its bloodiness made experienced police officers feel very shocked and uncomfortable.
But when the police investigated deeply, they found that behind the vicious dog was something more hypocritical and terrifying, whether it was the mysterious murderer, or the crime scene that was "comparable to a slaughterhouse" that made police officers extremely uncomfortable, or the bizarre degree of the case, which shocked the whole United States.
The house dog is fierce and tears the hostess
"My girlfriend was attacked by a wild dog, she's dying, please save her...!"
At 4 a.m. on September 2, 1998, a sharp telephone rang suddenly, breaking the silence at the duty office of the parachute doctor headquarters in Ohio, USA.
After the duty officer picked up the phone, the man's panicked voice came from the earpiece, with a thick crying voice.
After hanging up the phone, the hospital organized the personnel to rush to the scene of the incident.
Along with the doctor, the man arrived at the man's residence and the Ohio police, and it appeared that the man had not only called the hospital, but also called the police.
The police stayed outside to question the policeman, and the doctor entered the living room first to carry out rescue work.
The room was filled with a strong smell of blood, the injured woman was lying on a black sofa, the white blanket covered with blood was soaked with blood, and it was almost impossible to see the original color, and there were some shredded clothes and fabrics scattered on the ground, as well as blood-stained underwear, and the woman's whole body was untouched.
Unfortunately, after careful examination, the doctor found that the woman had no signs of life.
This is already a dead man.
The doctor walked out of the house with a regretful look on his face and informed the man of the bad news, and the man broke down and cried.
In previous interrogations, the police have information about the man and the deceased, Jeffrey Mann, 36 years old, and his girlfriend Angela Kaplan, who is only 28 years old.
According to Jeffrey's description, he and Angela went to the dance party that night, and Angela was still unsatisfied after arriving home and decided to go out, while Jeffrey was not as energetic as his girlfriend, so he did not go with him and slept first.
Sleeping in a daze, Jeffrey felt something throw itself on the bed, and when he opened his eyes, he found Angela covered in blood.
Frightened, he helped his girlfriend to the living room, took off her clothes to check the wound, found that the injury was serious, so he called the emergency number and called the police.
During the conversation, the police noticed a new wound on Jeffrey's forehead, bleeding.
Jeffrey said he was so flustered that he accidentally broke his glass and scratched his forehead with splashing debris.
After the doctor left, the police launched a further investigation of the scene.
A police officer named Kevin soon realized something was wrong.
According to Jeffrey, Angela was attacked by wild dogs, and after being bitten and seriously injured, she crawled back home.
Since he crawled back all the way, according to the amount of bleeding, there must be a long blood stain on the corridor of the room, but the corridor was unusually clean, and the room was full of blood.
Angela's naked situation also attracted Kevin's attention, those pieces on the ground are all outer clothes, but the underwear is complete, why is it also taken off?
The deceased is indeed full of wounds, in order to check the injury, it is reasonable to take off his coat, but he will not even leave his underwear, just let his girlfriend be naked in front of a room of doctors and police?
Kevin didn't understand why Jeffrey stripped his girlfriend, and he was keenly aware that this did not seem to be an ordinary wild dog bite incident he had originally thought.
Doubts aside, and actually directly bitten people to death, it is simply more than fierce beasts such as tigers and lions, and if it is really done by wild dogs, it must also attract attention.
So Kevin pulled out the phone and contacted criminal detectives Taliano and Reese.
As soon as the phone was connected, Kevin said: "Believe me, you will definitely be interested in this case, the murderer is actually a dog." ”
This sentence really aroused the interest of the two detectives, who asked Kevin to stay there to protect the scene, and then arrived.
A crime scene comparable to a slaughterhouse
After hanging up the phone, Kevin continued to walk around the house, saw a photo of a hybrid dog hanging on the wall of the living room, and thought that the "murderer" was also a dog, Kevin asked Jeffrey with great interest if it was his dog.
"Yes."
"So where is it?"
"Upstairs."
Kevin looked at Jeffrey, slowly becoming suspicious.
So Kevin called a police officer, in front of Jeffrey, asked him to contact the local dog farm to send several professionals to assist in the investigation, and noticed the change in Jeffrey's expression with afterlight.
Kevin noticed that the blood from Jeffrey's forehead wound had coagulated and prepared to send someone to take him to the hospital to bandage him.
But Jeffrey seemed reluctant, but could not refuse, so he had to do so.
Jeffrey was particularly concerned about his dog, and before leaving, he turned his head and specially instructed: "Don't hurt my dog." ”
Kevin looked at Jeffrey's departing back, thinking that this man seemed to care more about dogs than his girlfriend, who died tragically.
Soon, Talienno and Reese arrived, and Kevin confidently handed over the case to these two veteran detectives with many years of criminal investigation experience.
After Taliano carefully investigated, he found that there was a blood print on the floor of the living room leading directly to the door of a room, and the blood print seemed to be formed by something being dragged, so Taliano pushed the door open.
The situation inside made her stomach suddenly churn.
Rao is Taliano who has been doing this for more than 30 years, and she is used to seeing all kinds of shocking murder scenes, and the scene behind the door has a great impact on her.
"It's a slaughterhouse." Afterwards, Tarliano recalled in an interview that he was still very uncomfortable.
There was a large bed in the center of the room, the mattress was soaked with blood, and the miserable situation in the room made Taliano judge almost immediately—Jeffrey lied.
This is clearly the first scene of the crime, why did Jeffrey lie that he was in the wild? Why did he drag his girlfriend from here to the living room?
There was blood everywhere, and Taliano followed a blood stain to the second floor, and the blood stain disappeared at the door of a room where she found Jeffrey's dog.
It was a hybrid dog, and it was very vicious, and when he saw people, he barked and pounced, so frightened that Taliano quickly went out and slammed the door shut.
Fortunately, the dog farm personnel who contacted earlier arrived, he took precautions, and then walked in with the sleeve that caught the dog.
There was a wild bark in the house, and then the professional rushed out again, the dog was so fierce that he asked the detective to go in with the gun, so Reese went.
The two worked together to subdue the 40-pound hybrid dog and dragged it to the dog farm.
Taliano, on the other hand, rushed back to the police station to interrogate Jeffrey with doubts.
Jeffrey claimed that his girlfriend was attacked by wild dogs, but the family happened to have a large hybrid dog, and the crime scene was clearly at home, but Jeffrey lied that he was in the wild.
In this way, the so-called wild dog is more like Jeffrey's cover for the real "murderer".
During the interrogation, Tarliano and Reese had been consciously or unintentionally bringing the conversation to the hybrid dog, and Jeffrey became visibly agitated and unhappy, and even asked: "Do you think my dog killed her?" ”
After seeing the two detectives with a "we didn't say that" expression, Jeffrey immediately realized that he had overreacted and looked a little annoyed.
Reece refused to let go of his flaw, and made the same mockery as Kevin: "You really care about your dog, more than your girlfriend." ”
After that, Jeffrey was silent.
His mouth could not be opened, but the veterinarian and medical examiner received news one after another.
The veterinarian, judging from the dog's breed and performance at the time of examination, the hybrid dog was a dog with a very docile temperament and told Tarliano that he was not the murderer.
But forensic doctors found as many as 180 wounds on the bodies, almost all of them caused by dog bites.
The two sides obviously contradicted each other's conclusions, but they did not make Tallianno feel troubled.
Because the medical examiner gave a more important clue, he detected marijuana and tranquilizers from the deceased's body, indicating that the deceased took these drugs before the attack.
"What's even more nerve-wracking is that the dosage is too weird." The medical examiner said.
Taking too much dose will make people fall into a state of unconscious anesthesia, and taking too little, only slight dizziness, and can still move as usual, but the dose taken by Angela is stuck in the middle of these two levels, making her unable to resist at the same time, but also can feel the pain of the vicious dog biting her body.
Behind the dog bite, it is obviously man-made, and Taliano believes that Jeffrey is a serious suspect.
Taliano, together with professional dentists, obtained the tooth marks of the hybrid dog, and compared with the bite marks on the corpse, proving that it was indeed the hybrid dog that killed Angela, not the so-called wild dog.
However, from some clues, it can be seen that Angela is also the owner of this dog, and the dog in the photo is also very close to Angela, why did he go crazy and bite the hostess?
Head dog effect
"Someone must have given instructions to this dog." An expert said decisively when he heard that there were more than 180 wounds on the body.
Experts explained that it is not rare for dogs to bite dead people, and there have been several cases in the United States before, but there is no case of the deceased with so many wounds on his body, basically fatal by one blow, which is also a typical feature of dog attacks on people, aiming at the skull and fragile throat, biting down fiercely, killing with one blow, only one wound.
The expert thoughtfully said that there were more than 180 injuries, and it seemed that someone deliberately did not want the other party to die a painful death.
Upon her return, Tallianno immediately charged Jeffrey with murder, but Tallianno's colleagues and the judge advised her to be prepared for dismissal.
Because people instruct dogs to kill people, this situation is unheard of.
Tarliano also found an expert who specializes in training aggressive dogs, and asked him under what circumstances a large, originally tame domestic dog would suddenly attack its former intimate owner?
Experts told Tarliano that many people think that dogs can establish some kind of emotions with humans, but they do not know that dogs eventually have the upper hand in the face of emotions to govern their behavior, which is also the most essential difference between animals and humans.
Dogs think that they live with a group of dogs, and just like the head wolf in the wolf pack, there are also "head dogs" in the dog pack who can give orders to all dogs, and instincts also drive them to obey the orders of the head dog.
The expert took Taliano to the backyard, where his son was frolicking on the lawn with a large Labrador.
The expert laid his son on the grass, then called the Labrador over, then pointed at his son and said, "Grab him!" ”
The next scene stunned Taliano.
I saw that the big dog, who was still playing intimately with the little owner before, after hearing the expert's instructions, actually fiercely pounced on the little owner on the lawn, and then grabbed one of the other party's arms, but fortunately did not bite down.
The expert turned his head and smiled at the stunned Taliano: "Here, I am the 'head dog'." ”
All dogs only obey him, no matter how close other people usually have a relationship with dogs, as long as he gives instructions, one second he is still a playmate, the next second is just the target of the dog's attack.
When the attack stops depends only on when the head dog stops.
Tarliano immediately realized that Jeffrey was the "head dog" and that he must have trained the hybrid dog in particular.
She took the specialist to the dog farm, where the hybrid dog was kept after the accident, and after testing, the expert concluded that the dog was professionally trained and would completely follow the trainer's instructions.
That's enough for Taliano, and next, she will send Jeffrey, a vicious and cruel guy, to prison.
After the trial of the case, Jeffrey still wanted to leave his dog out, and insisted that it was a wild dog, but Taliano directly showed evidence of tooth mark comparison, leaving Jeffrey speechless.
Jeffrey's lawyer pulled out the wound on Jeffrey's forehead, saying that Angela may have had an argument with Jeffrey that night, and Angela smashed the water cup on Jeffrey's head, which angered the loyal dog, so he went crazy and bit the hostess to death.
In short, on what basis is it concluded that Jeffrey had a subjective will to instruct dogs to kill?
Taliano had been prepared, and with the cooperation of experts, he took out a video of a large dog being trained and played it in court.
Human performance may be fake, but simple animals are not, and when they see the tools commonly used to train dogs in the video, the hybrid dog in the cage recognizes what it is and is visibly restless.
The dog's reaction was seen by everyone present and determined that this hybrid dog was an aggressive dog formed by professional training.
Jeffrey's face turned pale and he could no longer say a word.
Jeffrey was soon found guilty of intentional homicide by a court and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The owner who killed by the dog was brought to justice, but the dog, which was trained to be a killing machine, everyone did not know how to place it.
At that time, the case was too rare and novel to cause a sensation in Ohio, and many people believed that the dog was used by people with sinister intentions and was innocent, and some dog lovers wrote letters willing to take the initiative to adopt the poor dog.
But the relevant departments refused, because the dog is difficult to be retrained, Jeffrey as a dog trainer, the attack password only he knows, in case someone rashly adopts the dog, inadvertently trigger the password to arouse the dog's ferocity, the tragedy is likely to happen again.
In the end, Tarliano and his colleagues decided to euthanize the dog, and the only thing they could do was increase the dose of medicine so that the poor dog died painlessly.
Due to the secrecy of some details, in the end, I don't know how deep Jeffrey's motive for killing his girlfriend is, and how deep the hatred is, so that the dose of anesthetic will be carefully set so that his girlfriend will be tortured by eating meat and bones.
As the saying goes, "More sinister than ghosts and gods is the human heart." ”
Because of one person's evil thoughts, two innocent lives paid the price, and the image reflected in Angela's last pupil was the figure of the dog opening its blood basin and pounced fiercely at her, and she didn't understand why the dog treated her like this.
Similarly, the euthanized hybrid dog, the moment it closes its eyes, may not understand why the two owners it loves, one of whom kills the other, and allows itself to act as a killing weapon.
