Tyrese Gibson, known for his role in the “Fast and Furious” franchise, surrendered to police on September 22 after his four Cane Corso dogs allegedly killed a neighbor’s dog in Atlanta. The arrest warrant cited animal cruelty following an incident on September 18, when the dogs were reported to have attacked Henry, a 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, as its owner let it outside. The dog was found injured, with broken ribs, puncture wounds, and severe internal bleeding.
Security footage documented Gibson’s dogs running towards the victim’s home, while a neighbor had previously alerted animal control about the dogs’ presence, expressing concern for her safety. Despite attempts by authorities to have Gibson surrender the dogs, he initially refused and cited a need for more time to handle the situation. He later acknowledged that his dogs were responsible for Henry’s death and indicated that he was aware of prior issues with them escaping.
Gibson’s attorney stated that he was out of town during the attack and accepted responsibility for his pets. The actor has since rehomed two of the dogs and placed the puppies in “safe and loving homes.” He expressed his shock and devastation over the incident, emphasizing his long-standing commitment as a dog lover and the non-aggressive upbringing of his pets.
Reports indicated that Gibson’s dogs had been seen running loose multiple times and that he had received prior warnings and a notice regarding a special permit for having more than ten dogs. The American Kennel Club notes that Cane Corsos are strong guardians, with proper training and socialization being essential for their behavior.
