Dog owner said she was going to get rid of the dog following previous attack

The pit bull type dog that fatally mauled Serenity Garnett, had previously fatally mauled a small dog and injured the small dog’s owner at the property a former tenant who preferred to stay anonymous said. 

‘It killed my dog, and it maimed my hands,’ the former tenant who lived at the property told WRDW.

According to the woman, the dog had attacked her Chihuahua, Sage at the property. The owner of the property, Donna Mills owned the dog and had previously been her roommate.

‘She stumbled when she went to go feed the dog. The dog jumped this big, old board they had set up so he couldn’t get out or couldn’t come in the house, came straight down the hallway and snatched my dog. Banged her against the walls, broke her neck, broke her back. It was horrible,’ the un-named woman told MSN.

Afterward, she says Mills told her she was going to give the dog away.

According to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, Mills is in jail, but the dog was still living at the property.

‘She never got rid of the dog, and now it’s killed a baby. That is horrible, that is so horrible,’ she said.

Uncontrollable dog

On Wednesday, a neighbor told WJBF that whenever the dog got out of the house, it was hard to get him back inside.

‘She didn’t have the strength to deal with that dog,’ Stephen Fox, a neighbor of the great-grandmother, told WJBF. ‘That dog had muscles coming out the wazoo.’

A vigil is set for Serenity on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the neighborhood where the attack happened.

Authorities continue to investigate what triggered the fatal dog attack.

The dog is being quarantined for rabies testing pending the investigation.
