The Harrowing Two-Part Attack: What Sean Lowe Described
The incident involving the family’s rescue Boxer, Moose, was detailed by Sean Lowe in a raw and emotional social media video posted in March 2025. The attack was not a single event but a terrifying escalation that occurred in two distinct parts, leaving Lowe severely injured and traumatized.
1. The Bizarre Trigger: A Towel and a Fire Alarm
The first attack began under an unusual circumstance. A fire alarm in the family's North Texas home was triggered, and Lowe grabbed a towel to wave the smoke away from the detector.
The dog, Moose, a 7-year-old Boxer they had adopted a few months prior, suddenly became agitated. The Boxer began biting at the towel, a behavior Lowe initially thought was playful. However, Moose quickly escalated, biting Lowe's feet and then his arm.
Lowe described the dog’s actions as not a typical defensive nip, but a full-blown, aggressive attack. "It felt like I was fighting for my life," he later recounted, noting that the dog was "ripping into the flesh" of his arm.
2. The Second Attack and Double Hospitalization
After managing to fight off Moose and get him out of the house, Lowe was left bleeding profusely. He went to the emergency room for the first time to treat his wounds.
Shockingly, the trauma was far from over. Upon returning home, the dog somehow got back inside and launched a second, equally vicious attack on Lowe less than 12 hours after the first.
The reality star was forced to return to the hospital for a second time, where he received multiple stitches for the deep wounds on his feet and arm. The experience of reliving the attack so quickly was described as deeply "traumatic" by Lowe.
The Difficult Decision: Rehoming Moose and the Previous Dog Incident
The severity of the attack, coupled with the immediate danger it posed to the couple’s three young children, forced Sean and Catherine to make an agonizing decision: they had to surrender Moose.
This was not the first time the Lowe family had dealt with aggression issues in a rescue pet. The family had previously had to rehome another dog, a puppy named Gus, in 2023. Gus, a different breed, had exhibited severe resource guarding issues and had bit one of their daughters, highlighting a distressing pattern of aggression within their adopted pets.
Despite the brutal nature of the attack, Sean Lowe expressed a surprising level of compassion for Moose, stating that he did not blame the rescue dog. Lowe acknowledged that the dog likely had an underlying issue or trauma that triggered the aggression. This viewpoint was consistent with the family's general love for rescue animals, even as they prioritized the safety of their human children.
Recovery and The Current Update (December 2025)
The physical and emotional toll of the incident was significant. Sean Lowe spent weeks recovering, sharing photos of his stitches and deep wounds with his followers.
Physical Recovery:
One month after the attack, Lowe provided a health update, confirming that he was on the mend, though the recovery process for such deep wounds was extensive. He received an outpouring of support from fans and fellow Bachelor Nation alumni.
Emotional Trauma:
Both Sean and Catherine Giudici were candid about the emotional trauma the attack caused. Catherine, who was supportive of her husband throughout the ordeal, posted sweet messages and photos to help lift his spirits, emphasizing that the family was rallying around him.
In December 2025, the family continues to focus on their well-being, confirming that while the wounds have healed, the memory of the traumatic event, which involved "fighting for my life," remains a powerful one. Their willingness to share the difficult reality of the situation—even the decision to rehome a beloved pet—has been praised for its honesty and for raising awareness about the complexities of dog aggression and rescue adoption.
