Johannesburg - A security guard claimed four American pit bull terriers attacked him in his car in Randburg and would have "ripped him to pieces" if he had not shot dead three of them.
But Warren Sinden, owner of the dogs, rejected these claims by Real Security Solutions (RSS), the company that protected his home.
Sinden said his dogs were shot without reason on his property in Bloubosrand. He laid a charge of injury to property at Douglasdale police and would also lay a civil charge.
Sinden's alarm went off on New Year's Eve. An RSS security guard went to investigate and what happened afterwards was still a mystery as Sinden claimed RSS refused to give him a report.
He said the RSS officer first shot his three dogs and then "cleaned up the scene of the crime" before contacting him.
"I want to know why my dogs were shot on my own property. Only one of my American pitt bull terriers, the bitch, has survived. The three male dogs are dead."
RSS manager Francois Briel said the guard never set foot on the Sinden property.
RSS was apparently considering legal steps against Sinden after the attack on the security guard.

Stories, counter stories ... and bullshit too.
I don't trust security companies. At all under any circumstances. This guard was supposed to check that everything was ok. It wasn't, so why did he leave a note saying it was ok?
i don't know what the truth was, but the person that was paid to look after the house ended up firing multiple shots in a residential neighbourhood. Few weeks ago a girl was killed the same way. The shooter in that case was crucified ... here it appears nothing will be done.
To Aquila ... good start, companies are very scared of the media ... and take it further ... this guard should never work in security again.

RSS's story is rubbish.
Have you ever seen a person who's been attacked by 3 pits?
Woouldn't be anything left of him.
This guard had a cut on his finger and a small puncture wound on his ankle.
If those dogs were attacking him in earnest he wouldn't be around today.
We're going forward with the case, so I can't say too much - just this: I agree with you that to trust a security company is the wrong move. Liars, potential theives and steroid puppies, the lot of them - and that's just at the management level.

Go to "Oasis of my soul" ... on the right.
peace ;-)
