One Phoenix family must now deal with the consequences of having some pretty careless neighbors.
At 7th street and Thomas stands a vacant house that has become home to a hive of bees. The Denoyer family has been forced to live next door to this infested house, and recently, the bees have attacked their two dogs.
The family’s 17-week-old pit bull puppy named Tramp was stung hundreds of times by the bees, and their german shepherd Lady faces an uncertain future as she escaped their home trying to outrun the bees.
Jeremy Denoyer tells ABC Arizona that he was stung more than 20 times over his entire face and body trying to protect Tramp.
“It’s kind of like having a needle just poked into your body,” Jeremy describes. “And then somebody just rubs it around.”
“It would have been worth it because–I just in the end I don’t want them in pain,” he continued. Phoenix Fire crews told the family that the hive has been growing at the home next door for a while now, and something as simple as a bird flying by could have caused the flare up.
Kim Denoyer says that usually in the first day of being stung, they are gone, “So Tramp is pretty much a one in a million case.” While Tramp is still in recovery, the Denoyers’ neighbors have set up a GoFundMe account to help pay for Tramp’s climbing veterinary costs.
Now, the Denoyers’ concern is praying that Lady will come back home to them and that their irresponsible neighbors will finally fix their bee problem. “There is no way to fix it on our end, and it shouldn’t have to be our end because we don’t own the house,” a frustrated Kimberly said. Firefighters told the Denoyers that the owners of the vacant house will have to pay for the foam and eradication that need to be done, but can’t be done soon enough.
