Catherine Giudici, Sean Lowe’s Wife, Speaks Out Following Dog Attack Incident
As Sean Lowe recovers from an incident involving his dog, the reality star’s wife, Catherine Giudici, has publicly expressed her support.
On Tuesday, March 18, Giudici, 38, took to Instagram to share a photo of Lowe, 41, sharing a kiss with their daughter, Mia, 4. Visible in the picture are stitches across both of Lowe’s arms.
Giudici, who is also the mother of sons Samuel, 8, and Isaiah, 6, captioned the image, “We love this man so much 🧡,” and added a tag for Lowe.
This heartfelt post comes after Lowe revealed on Instagram on Monday, March 17, that Moose’s attack left him with stitches in “five or six places” on his arm. In an emotional video alongside Giudici, he stated, “Hey everybody, so, I guess you could say our family has been through something pretty traumatic over the weekend. I’ve debated on whether or not we should share this publicly, but I just figured you guys are going to ask questions and probably see things, so I might as well get out ahead of it.”
Giudici, who fell for Lowe during the 2012 season 17 of The Bachelor, wiped away tears as Lowe continued. “On Thursday, I was having some friends over to barbecue. Catherine took the kids to the mall, and we’re just barbecuing here on my patio, and it was a really nice night, so I had the doors and windows open, and some of the smoke from the barbecue started to drift inside, and our smoke alarm started going off,” he recounted. “So I grab a dish rag and I’m going over to waft the smoke away from the smoke alarm because the siren was insanely loud. And as I’m holding the dish rag, Moose comes up and, like, bites it and kind of nips my finger really aggressively, which is something that he does not do. So, you know, I kind of gave him a, ‘No Moose.’”
Lowe’s scolding prompted Moose to bite the star’s shoes so hard that he “put holes” in them before mouthing at his owner and attacking him. “I don’t mean, like, bite and run off like a lot of dogs do when they’re scared or defensive. I mean, he attacked me, and I feel him just kind of ripping into the flesh of my arm,” Lowe recounted. “At this point, I am doing everything I possibly can just to fend this dog off.”
Lowe mentioned that despite “bleeding badly,” he managed to move Moose into the backyard, but the dog returned for another attack. After assessing the damage, he realized that the cut was “so deep” that blood was “squirting” several feet away.
His friends took him to the ER, where he received stitches before heading home to clean up what he described as a “literal pool” of blood. The next morning, while waiting for Lowe’s parents to pick up their children so the couple could formulate “the best plan of action,” Moose attacked Lowe yet again, prompting a second trip to the ER for more stitches.
Lowe concluded by saying that upon reflection, he does not hold Moose responsible for the incident, noting that the dog had “experienced a lot of trauma” before becoming part of their family. “We miss our dog, as weird as that sounds. He was a really, really good dog,” exclaimed Lowe. “And we miss him.”
