'Bachelor' alum Sean Lowe attacked twice in 12 hours by rescue dog, says he fought for his life amid "pool of blood"

Sean Lowe, former Bachelor star, has revealed a terrifying ordeal after being attacked twice by his rescue dog within 12 hours. Lowe detailed the shocking incident on Instagram, showing his injuries and recalling the moment he thought he might not survive.

The attack occurred on March 13 while Lowe was hosting a barbecue at his home. As smoke from the grill triggered the house’s fire alarm, his dog, a recently adopted boxer named Moose, suddenly turned aggressive.

“He shows his teeth at me and just attacks me,” Lowe said. “I feel him ripping into the flesh of my arm, and at this point, I’m doing everything I possibly can just to fend this dog off.”

Lowe managed to push the dog outside, but Moose lunged at him again. He described the moment he looked down to see a deep wound, with blood “squirting probably a couple feet” and a “pool of blood” forming on the floor. His friends rushed him to the emergency room, where he received stitches.

Less than 12 hours later, Moose attacked again. The dog managed to escape through an unlocked door and charged at Lowe while he was in the yard.

“Going through a dog attack is traumatic. Having to relive it less than 12 hours later, seeing that dog running straight at you, is a feeling I don’t think I ever want to experience again,” he said.

Lowe struggled to restrain the dog while screaming for help. “I’ve got a hold of his collar, but I know he’s ripped my arm open, and I just know I’m fighting for my life here.”

Emergency responders arrived, and Lowe was taken back to the hospital for more stitches. He has since decided that Moose cannot stay in his home with his wife and three children.

Despite the horror, Lowe insists he does not blame the dog. “It wasn’t Moose’s fault. He clearly experienced a lot of trauma before we got him.”

Lowe is now working with animal control and a no-kill shelter to rehome Moose safely.
