Name: Connor Patrick Quinn
Age:  9
Challenge: Mauled by 2, 140 pound Rottweilers on December 29th, 2006.

Connor Quinn, a normal, healthy nine year old boy who lives in Washington Township New Jersey, was savagely attacked and severely mauled by two adult Rottweilers on Friday December 29, 2006.

Connor was dragged around for 25 minutes before police arrived. His friend called 911 and Connor’s mother, who came in the family car with his younger brother (5) and sister (2).  Unfortunately his brother and sister witnessed the entire incident, although from the safety of the vehicle. The second she arrived, his mother ran to Connor’s rescue, but at 100 pounds was only able to drag one of the 140 pound dogs off of her son at a time, and as she pulled one off, the other would run back and continue mauling Connor.

Police eventually arrived, and after striking the dogs with batons didn’t work and shooting the animals was ruled out, they maced the dogs (and Connor’s mother) before pulling the animals off.

Connor was seriously disfigured as a result of this savage attack, with over 150 stitches to his face alone. He will require many corrective surgeries and physical therapy for years to come.

This 9 year old martial artist is a testament to the strength and fearlessness that martial arts can instill in a young person. Not only did he fight the dogs off for 25 minutes, but when he was in the hospital he told his Sensei, Nick Dougherty, "Don't worry. My body's strong and I can't wait to get back to karate!"

Connor’s Father, Steve Quinn, has devoted his life to helping others as a public servant. Steve is a full time fireman and paramedic for the local community and has saved countless lives in his 16 years of public service.

This giving and caring family is in a serious crisis! They need your help in order to care for Connor during his long road to recovery.

Mr. Quinn will have to take a leave of absence from work in order to care for his family. Please open your hearts to Connor and this very special family in their time of need.

A Benefit Fund has been established for Connor and his family with Wachovia Bank.  The name of this Fund is "Connor Patrick Quinn Benefit Fund"

At ChampionsWay we understand that following such a tragedy, some people may have some bad feelings towards the attackers. Due to this we would like to clarify that it is not the fault of the Rottweilers, it is the owners that didn’t take the time and effort to train and socialize their animals.

“In the hands of a responsible owner, a well-trained and socialized Rottweiler can be a reliable alert dog and loving companion. A poorly trained or untrained Rottweiler, however, can be destructive, and if allowed to run-at-large may pose a significant physical threat due to its size and strength. In general, Rottweilers are fond of children, very devoted, quick to learn, and eager to please. They thrive on mental stimulation. They can also be strong-willed at times, however, and should thus be trained in a firm, fair and consistent manner. Rottweilers respond readily to a clear and benevolent leader. Rottweilers are playful animals who may frequently demand attention from their owners if they are not receiving the mental stimulation they desire and will find creative and often destructive ways to get it if they are excessively neglected.” (wikipedia.com)
