Jesse James’s Dog Attacked a Corgi
06.10.11
For the first time in Warming Glow history, a corgi story actually intersects with TV news (on a Friday, no less) — but it’s not the happy moment we might have hoped for. A pit bull belonging to “Monster Garage” host Jesse James escaped from James’s motorcycle shop in Austin, Texas and attacked a corgi on a walk.
Per a spokesman with Austin Animal Control, James’ pet happened on a Corgi named Buckley and sank its fangs into the poor fella’s neck before police called to the scene managed to separate the two. Buckley’s owner also came to his dog’s defense, punching the pit bull in its face until it gave up.
The mauled pup was rushed to a nearby veterinary hospital where it was sedated and doctors stitched up the wound and drained it to prevent infection. [E! Online]
TMZ reports that James gave the owner $250 for the vet bill and “also promised to cover any additional medical expenses,” but an Uproxx tipster claiming to be close friends with Buckley’s owners says that James was “not very sympathetic.”
I wonder how people become giant, gaping assh*les on the level of James. Are you born that big of an assh*le? Or does it take years and years of hard work and screwing anyone with a neck tattoo? I don’t consider myself a very religious person, but I’m going to pray for James… to get into a deadly motorcycle crash. C’mon, Jesus! Let’s do this!

“Buckley’s owner also came to his dog’s defense, punching the pit bull in its face until it gave up”
HE-RO! HE-RO! HE-RO!
Next Warming Glow interview?
I would like to punch Jesse in the solar plexis.
While I’m never one to advocate punching a dog in the face, if ever there were a proper time for it, it’s to rescue a corgi. And if the dog in question belongs to Jesse there, although really, his own face is the one asking for a few punches.
First Sandy, now Buckley? This man must be stopped!
Poor puppy!
Jesse James is the worst. He might as well start tripping random pedestrians and knocking ice cream cones out of kids’ hands.
Of COURSE he owns a pit bull. All I can think about with this guy is how small it must be for him to have to behave like this. “Ooo, look how MANLY I am with my tats and motorcycles and pit bulls and skanky hos.”
I feel like “Monster Garage” would also be a good nickname for his Nazi girlfriend’s vagina.
I just wish Buckley’s owner would also punch Jesse James in the face until he gave up. At life, I mean.
I think instead of a deadly crash it would be better if he were to get into one that did not allow him the sweet release of death and caused him to live for the rest of his pathetic life with a pain so great that painkillers could not dampen it at all, forcing him to become a shut in and freeing the public from ever having to hear anything about this waste of D.N.A ever again.
Pit bulls are fucking assholes, like their owners. One nearly killed my girlfriend’s greyhound. We can’t even walk the dogs in a new neighborhood, for fear that one of those ugly little shits is going to come charging out.
The obvious thing is not that this douche owns a pitbull, it’s that he never trained the pitbull to not be as big as a douche as said owner
Pit bulls are great. They can be very sweet, loving dogs. But combine their aggressive tendencies with a shitty owner, and the breed gets a bad rap. Blame the people, not the dogs.
@Danger Guerrero
You win, everything, forever.
Also, thanks, Jesse James, for fucking RUINING corgi Friday.
This happened in Texas? How the hell wasn’t Jesse James pitbull shot dead? And him, for that matter. He is such a douche-canoe on an epic level.
I would like to hire a black bear to maul him.
Matt is right. Most pit bulls are normal dogs because their owners are normal, sane people. Then there are the same trailer park assholes who can’t take care of their own children, let alone a dog with naturally violent wiring. In fact, some of these same people encourage the dog to be violent. THAT is why we always hear about pit bulls attacking other dogs. They don’t know any better and, in some cases, it’s encouraged by the owner.
I wouldn’t doubt Douchebag McPoopypants up there is any different.
Two things.
1. Poor Buckley. I hope that little guy gets well soon.
2. A decent dog plus and crappy owner will always equal bad accidents.
Mother fuck. Like I needed to hate this white trash piece of shit any more.
Matt, was the pit bull destroyed? I hope not. If you have a dog, and it escapes your home or business, whatever it does outside is your fault, not the dog’s. You took your eye off the ball while you were drawing up new tattoos, so you get punished.
Not saying that the pit bull is innocent, but a dog learns everything from it’s owner.
Neuter the owner.
This isn’t the first time this fucking asshole has had a problem with control over his dogs. I remember seeing part of an episode of his TV show years ago when one of his two pitbulls attacked the other and killed it. (emphasis)These were his own two dogs going at it and one dying. They didn’t show the actual fight, they showed the two dogs on the show and then there was only one and he explained what happened. The people are the problem.
Pitbulls are awesome, loving dogs…to people. To other dogs, even the good ones tend to be a little aggressive, so good owners keep them from running wild in the streets. In summation, Jesse James can go pound sand up his ass.
I should be cut off.
I’m missing.
Worst. Corgi Friday. Ever.
I will never forget this Corgi Friday. Ever.
Hopefully he gets smashed by a city bus riding one of his ugly ass motor cycles. Why did we make this weazel famous to begin with.
Ah, here it is, online. Thanks Google! Ahem…”How to be an obnoxious turd like Jesse James” 1) Make sure your parents name you after a dead celebrity who was way cooler than you. 2) Cover yourself with a bunch of gross tats. 3) Collect a bunch of noisy bikes to compensate for a perceived sense of sexual inadequacy. 4)Develop a fondness for cheap watery beer and skanky women. 5)For pets, make sure you acquire animals so dangerous and needlessly violent that whenever you feel inadequate, you can just point to them as evidence of how manly you are. And last, since you’re STILL not getting enough attention, be sure to act like a dick as often as possible. That should do it.
“I’ve seen virtually every breed involved in fatalities, including Pomeranians and everything else, except a beagle or a basset hound,” Randall Lockwood, a senior vice-president of the A.S.P.C.A. and one of the country’s leading dogbite experts, told me. “And there’s always one or two deaths attributable to malamutes or huskies, although you never hear people clamoring for a ban on those breeds. When I first started looking at fatal dog attacks, they largely involved dogs like German shepherds and shepherd mixes and St. Bernards—which is probably why Stephen King chose to make Cujo a St. Bernard, not a pit bull. I haven’t seen a fatality involving a Doberman for decades, whereas in the nineteen-seventies they were quite common. If you wanted a mean dog, back then, you got a Doberman. I don’t think I even saw my first pit-bull case until the middle to late nineteen-eighties, and I didn’t start seeing Rottweilers until I’d already looked at a few hundred fatal dog attacks. Now those dogs make up the preponderance of fatalities. The point is that it changes over time. It’s a reflection of what the dog of choice is among people who want to own an aggressive dog.
In many cases, vicious dogs are hungry or in need of medical attention. Often, the dogs had a history of aggressive incidents, and, overwhelmingly, dog-bite victims were children (particularly small boys) who were physically vulnerable to attack and may also have unwittingly done things to provoke the dog, like teasing it, or bothering it while it was eating. The strongest connection of all, though, is between the trait of dog viciousness and certain kinds of dog owners. In about a quarter of fatal dog-bite cases, the dog owners were previously involved in illegal fighting. The dogs that bite people are, in many cases, socially isolated because their owners are socially isolated, and they are vicious because they have owners who want a vicious dog. The junk-yard German shepherd—which looks as if it would rip your throat out—and the German-shepherd guide dog are the same breed. But they are not the same dog, because they have owners with different intentions.
“A fatal dog attack is not just a dog bite by a big or aggressive dog,” Lockwood went on. “It is usually a perfect storm of bad human-canine interactions—the wrong dog, the wrong background, the wrong history in the hands of the wrong person in the wrong environmental situation.”

I don’t comment here…but, Jesus. His dog had better be labeled as a dangerous dog. MY dog is now tagged as a dangerous dog because some bitch claimed the he attacked her and pepper sprayed the shit out of him, when I know for a fact he did no such thing. Unless you were doing weird shit around my house, my dog would not have attacked you. This lady had no marks on her in anyway. My dog is fucking 8 years old, and can barely get into the car. And yet, every year we have to pay something like 100 bucks to register him as a dangerous dog, and have to notify the state wants he dies.
Sorry, everybody. That just really pisses me off.
Continue on about whatever you were talking about.
once* not wants. That was stupid.
Pit bulls are not bad dog, it’s just a fact that a lot of assholes like Jessie James here gets them just to look cool and don’t know how to train them properly. I work with dogs and see this shit all the time.
Had to get between my tiny, nearly defenseless dog and a neighbors unleashed, not-tagged, not collared dog this weekend. He finally gets over there as I’m trying to restrain his dog, picks it up and walks way without a word. No, “Sorry, I’m an enormous and inconsiderate a-hole with an unregistered dog that should be put down”. I would have even accepted “Sorry” for short. Needless to say I spent the next thirty minutes ruminating on how I’d have gutted him one morning as he left his house if his dog had killed mine, the sweetest dog on the planet.
PhxMST3Kgirl –
You took the words right out of my mouth.
“Of COURSE he owns a pit bull. All I can think about with this guy is how small it must be for him to have to behave like this. ‘Ooo, look how MANLY I am with my tats and motorcycles and pit bulls and skanky hos.’”
Pit bull …”Monster Garage”… usurping the name, “Jesse James”… all of this spells OVERCOMPENSATING for something dark and hidden in his life … something he would hide at all costs.
when i read the title i though they were talking about two of his girlfriend fighting :). http://www.dailystooge.com

Yeah – I own a Corgi, and anyone who knows them will also know that they are the most non-confrontational dogs EVER, all but proving that this POS Pitbull is out of control and dangerous.
I echo the sentiment of “what a effin’ surprise” that JJ owns a Pit.
Yes Mr. James, you have further proved your epic fail mastery by not being able to be the Alpha with your dog. Well done sir.
I hope this Pit gets put down.
pits should be banned, they are killers, sorry they cannot be social animals – never know when they will snap. If anyother breed bites you, chances are if u hit them in the face they will let go, if a pit bites you, the only way to get if off you is too kill it. – IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO OWN A PIT BULL IN THIS COUNTRY
