Searches of the Knoller/ Noel premises reportedly found that they had a guard dog training manual with photos of Bane on the cover. San Francisco police lieutenant Henry Hunter told reporters on February 16 that the police intend to recommend that felony charges as serious as involuntary manslaughter be brought against Knoller, who is an attorney, and her husband and law partner, Robert Noel, 59. Hera–whom Knoller called “a rescue dog with a heart murmur”–was held as evidence. Police said the attack was seen through a peephole by a 76-year-old neighbor. San Francisco Animal Care and Control euthanized Bane. The male Presa Canario, Bane, apparently inflicted the fatal bite on Whipple, while the female, Hera, tore at her clothing. Whipple had moved in with companion Sharon Smith only one month earlier. Whipple was bitten on the left wrist by one of the dogs in December 2000, but escaped serious injury, Smith said, because her watch took the force of the bite. Mary’s College lacrosse coach Diane Whipple, 33, was fatally mauled on January 26 by two leashed Presa Cararios with a reported combined weight of 233 pounds. Police reports indicated that the dogs dragged Marjorie Knoller, 45, down the hall to attack Whipple as Whipple tried to enter her apartment. Jaime, 22, had married a soldier stationed in Texas three weeks earlier. Jaime on Janudied just inside the door of her apartment in Saginaw, Mich-igan, after an attack by two Presa Canarios allegedly owned by relatives who lived downstairs. SAGINAW, Michigan SAN FRANCISCO–Parallel fatal attacks in late January moved the Presa Canario, or bull mastiff, to the top of the list of suspected inherently dangerous dog breeds.
