Public Outcry After Unleashed Dog Attack and Threats at Colorado Mall
Mall Incident Escalates: Unleashed Dog Attack and Alleged Threats at Citadel Mall COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – A recent incident at the Citadel Mall has sparked concerns after a woman reported a heated confrontation involving an unleashed dog, a service animal, and alleged threats of violence. The event, which occurred on October 31, 2025, involved a local resident and her friend, whose service dog was reportedly attacked by an unleashed French Bulldog. According to the witness, who shared her account online, she and her friend were shopping for Halloween costumes when they encountered a couple with an infant and an unleashed dog. "We weren't even in the mall for a minute before all of this went down," she stated. The unleashed dog allegedly ran up to her friend and her service dog, nipping at her friend's ankles and jumping to get to the service animal. The situation quickly escalated after the witness interjected, reminding the dog owners of Colorado's leash laws. "There's a leash law in Colorado. That's all I say," she recounted. The woman alleges that the dog owner's wife then left her infant unattended to confront them, while the husband, identified as the owner of "PVO Exclusive," allegedly screamed threats, stating, "I'm going to smack you bitches." The witness claims she maintained a defensive posture, telling them, "You need to back up." Mall security intervened, and one guard reportedly informed the witness that this type of behavior was "a regular thing" for the man. The witness expressed shock that an individual with such a history of threatening behavior is permitted to operate a business within the mall. She intends to obtain and share security footage of the incident. This event highlights ongoing concerns regarding pet policies and public safety in commercial spaces.
