Special City Council Minutes April 7, 2020 Page 5 of 8 � ------------------------------ indications that what was about to happen was not end up well so he just remained where he was. He said he just know nothing good would have happened in that timeframe had I gone out so he chose and at that particular point there were finro dogs in the house and there were two dogs outside and he took finro dogs and put them in the bedroom. He said his son Skeeter said Bryce was opening the doors in the Suburban asking if this black dog was the dog that bit Riker and he was not even sure where the other dog was at that point. Mr. Rose said he had four dogs at that point for sure and two were accounted for but he didn't know where the others were. He said he thought one was in his truck. He stated that it is a tragedy and he talked about the statutes and legislation again. Heather Raduenz, Riker's mom said that she remembers the whole thing as clear as day it happened and remembers the screams, the blood, all that was going in the house. She stated that she is an RN so she went to check out her son to check how bad it is and assess the situation. She stated that yes he had to go to the hospital and he received six sutures. Mrs. Raduenz stated that the doctor tried to do as few as possible but he had some underlying ones also because of the bite. She said that you could see could see the fat tissue because it folded up so he did underlying sutures too but tried to do as few of sutures as he could and they thought he did a pretty good job of suturing it. Mrs. Raduenz stated here we are a month later as of tomorrow and he is going to have multiple scars. She stated that when he cries or shows any kind of emotion you can � physically see the bite on his face, the white outlining of the teeth when he smiles, when he cries. She said it is like he has extra dimples in his cheek that will never go away. She stated to her knowledge her aunt Jill Bjornaraa-Rose said he will take care of this situation. She said they will take care of this and that they were going to euthanize the dog but they wanted a proper closure with the dog first and now to find out that they are still back at this stage where now the dog is getting neutered, going to a psychological veterinarian to try to see if this dog is fit, when it seems like the only reason they're trying to keep this dog fit is because he's a hunting dog. She stated that just seems insane because she said her son did not provoke a situation. Mrs. Randuenz said that he is a five year old child and he has to live with these marks on his face and his finger for the rest of his life. She said she asks her son every time they are around a dog asks if he is okay and how does he feel. She said she asks him if he is okay with dogs and he says yes but then he says I just never want to see that mean dog again. She said she promised him they will never ever see any of those four dogs again. She stated that another one of those dogs is not friendly whatsoever to outsiders and these dogs are meant to stay at their home in their circle because they're apparently guard dogs. She said they are not family friendly to others and they should not be allowed to leave the premises. Mrs. Randuenz stated that she is shocked that they are here today to argue this when a five year old has been scarred, not only physically but mentally for life. She stated that her five year old daughter was extremely scared on the drive to the hospital and she was screaming that I can't live like this anymore. She was screaming 1 can't live like this anymore because she was looking at it and she was right there when it happened. She stated her daughter was right up the steps when the dog barked and lunched at her brother's face, she was `-- right there. Mrs. Randuenz said her daughter can't even talk about it or anything
