Bachelor’s Sean Lowe is on the mend after a harrowing dog attack that left him hospitalized twice in just 12 hours. In a heartfelt Instagram update on April 15, the reality star expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support he received following the terrifying incident involving his adopted boxer, Moose, just three months after bringing him home.

The shocking attack unfolded on March 13 while Lowe was trying to address a smoke alarm issue inside his home. In a candid recounting, the 41-year-old revealed he felt he was “fighting for [his] life” against his own dog. After the first attack, which required stitches, Lowe had to make arrangements for his three children to stay with his parents, only to be violently lunged at by Moose again upon returning home. “I’m just saying, ‘No, no, no,’” he recalled, noting the chilling moment was captured on security cameras.

Fortunately, Lowe is now healing and reported that his scars are not as severe as he initially feared. His son, Isaiah, even kisses the most prominent scar, which Lowe playfully described as “kind of red” but assured fans it won’t remain that way forever. However, the future of Moose hangs in the balance; Lowe is collaborating with local animal control and a no-kill shelter to determine the best course of action for the dog, indicating that Moose cannot stay with his family.

As the situation develops, fans are left anxiously awaiting further updates on both Lowe’s recovery and the fate of Moose. This shocking incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictability of pet behavior and the importance of safety in homes with animals.
