Father Arrested for Role in Dog Attack on Own Son

A Wisconsin father allegedly watched on as another man strung his 18-year-old son from the porch by his ankles and commanded a savage pit bull to attack him.

Joel E. Kennedy and Richard R. Lisko are to face criminal charges in the chilling August 31st attack, which the homeowner allegedly orchestrated because he suspected the teen had stolen from him.

Prosecutors said Kennedy and his son, Joel Kennedy Jr., visited Lisko's home last Friday for the Labor Day weekend, and Lisko began accusing the teen of theft. He then commanded his dog, Bubba, to attack, the criminal complaint said.

The teen told investigators Lisko then tied the dog leash around his ankles, and Lisko and his father suspended the teen from a porch rafter. He said the dog was ordered to attack him further, and that he was kept upside down for about an hour.

The teen suffered cuts and punctures to his neck, ears and scalp that investigators said appeared consistent with dog bites and scratches. He also had rope burns around his feet and ankles.
