A swarm of bees attacks and kills FOUR dogs in California – as the devastated owner of Sansa, Khaleesi, Drogo and Pancake threatens to sue the neighbor who kept the insects
- Sansa, Pancake, Khaleesi and Drogo were all killed by a swarm of bees last week
- They were attacked in their home in Palmdale, California
- Their owners are suing their neighbors for allegedly raising the bees
A pair of dog owners want to take their neighbors to court after their four puppies were attacked and killed by an aggressive swarm of bees allegedly kept and raised by local residents.
Daniel Giron and Rebecka Lopez say four of their six dogs were attacked by a swarm in the backyard of their Palmdale, California, home last Thursday.
Video footage captured with a Ring camera shows Rebecka seeking help for her dogs, two English bulldogs and two Doberman pinschers named Sansa, Pancake, Khaleesi and Drogo, while her husband was at work.
In one shot, she was seen crying and running back to her house, while another shot shows a firefighter who was called to tackle the situation, as bees buzzed around the camera.
While Rebecka and Daniel took their dogs to the vet, they unfortunately did not survive.
‘It has been quiet in the house. We are missing four members of our family. So it was sad. Everyone has been sad,” Rebecka said KCAL.

The couple were forced to bury their dogs in their backyard because they couldn’t afford to cremate them after expensive vet bills.

Flowers now mark where the dogs are buried.
“I know it was hard for him, and we had to bury it one by one,” Rebecka said.
Rebecka and Daniel now want to sue their neighbors, who they say bred the bees in their backyard.
a GoFundMe which they set up to pay the dogs’ medical bills have raised almost $4,000 so far.

Earlier this year, a dog in Southern California was hospitalized after being stung more than 800 times by a swarm of bees.
Chance, a pit bull mix, was hanging out with his owner Bryan Engen at their Lake Mathews home when Bryan came across the beehive and the situation spiraled out of control.
The bees began aggressively attacking Chance, who eventually fell to the ground with blood pouring from his face.
He was taken to a nearby vet, where he was treated for fractures and other injuries.
