Teacher father-of-two badly mauled by homeless woman’s off-leash pit bulls in Oregon capital city… and dogs are still free to attack after local cops turned a blind eye

An Oregon teacher and father of two was seriously injured when two unleashed dogs attacked him while he was running in Salem’s Riverfront Park on 2 November. His family says the owner watched and shouted at him during the attack, and that police have taken no action against her or the dogs, prompting criticism of the department.

Shawn Jung, 36, suffered bites and lacerations to his hands, arms and torso, including severe bone damage to his left hand and nerve and tendon damage to his right. His family says he faces multiple surgeries and months of therapy, and cannot use his hands or return to teaching for the foreseeable future. Medical costs and lost income have put financial strain on his family; police were contacted for comment.
