According to him, the incident occurred on March 13, when he was hosting friends for a barbecue while his wife, Catherine, took their three young children to the mall. During the event, smoke from the grill entered the house and triggered the fire alarm, which unexpectedly set off a reaction from the dog.
The First Attack
Lowe recounted that as he entered the house to clear the smoke, the loud noise of the alarm seemed to startle Moose, who immediately turned on him. “He bared his teeth at me and just attacked. This wasn’t just a bite and retreat like many dogs do when they’re scared or defensive. He really attacked me,” he stated.
The former *Bachelor* described the distressing scene, explaining that he felt his arm being torn while trying to push the dog away. “I knew I was bleeding a lot, and at that moment, I just wanted to get away from him and protect myself,” he recalled.
The Second Attack
After a few minutes of struggle, Lowe managed to free himself from Moose, but to his horror, the dog came back and attacked him again. “I’m not trying to be dramatic, but honestly, I felt like I was fighting for my life against my own dog,” he said.
Despite the scare and significant injuries, Lowe did not mention whether he had made any decisions about the dog’s future or if he sought immediate medical attention. The situation has sparked discussions about pet safety and unexpected reactions to intense stimuli, such as loud alarms.
