Former ‘Bachelor’ Star Provides Health Update After Dog Attacks
In an Instagram Story posted on Tuesday, April 15th, featuring his youngest son Isaiah, Sean Lowe, 41, expressed gratitude to fans for their support and offered an update on his condition post dog attack.
“Hey everybody, we are back,” Lowe began in his message. “I haven’t been on Instagram since the whole dog issue, but I wanted to jump on here and express my sincere thanks to everyone. We received thousands upon thousands of messages from people wishing me well and sharing similar experiences. Thank you, truly, your well wishes were heartfelt and genuine.”
Providing insight into his current health status, Lowe confirmed he is “doing great” and relayed information from his physician.

“I’m healing well, and my scars are not as prominent as I initially feared,” Lowe explained, directing the camera towards his wrist. “Isaiah enjoys kissing this particular one here. The doctor indicated that this scar is about as good as it will look; it’s still somewhat red, which will fade over time, but I’ll have a permanent, albeit cool, scar.”
Lowe then engaged his son, Isaiah, asking, “You got anything you want to say?” To which the 6-year-old responded, “Thank you for talking to daddy, for saying nice things.”
The updates follow Lowe’s initial disclosure on March 17th, also via Instagram, where he revealed that Moose, his dog, had attacked him twice within a 12-hour period. Catherine Giudici, Lowe’s wife since January 2014, and mother to their sons Samuel, 8, and Isaiah, 6, and daughter Mia, 5, appeared visibly emotional alongside him in the previous video.
Recounting the Traumatic Dog Attack Incidents
“Last Thursday, I was hosting friends for a barbecue. Catherine had taken the children to the mall. It was a pleasant evening, so I had the doors and windows open. Smoke from the barbecue began to drift inside, setting off the smoke alarm,” he recounted the events that led to the first dog attack.
Initial Incident Triggered by Smoke Alarm
“I grabbed a dish towel to waft the smoke away from the detector, as the alarm was extremely loud. While holding the towel, Moose approached, bit at it, and nipped my finger quite aggressively – an unusual behavior for him. I responded with a firm, ‘No, Moose.’”
Lowe detailed that Moose then began to bite his feet forcefully, “putting holes” through his shoes.
“Amidst the chaos of the blaring alarm, I gave Moose a very stern, ‘Moose. No. No.’ It was at that point he showed his teeth and launched an attack. Not a typical bite-and-retreat, but a full-on attack, tearing into the flesh of my arm,” he described. “I was doing everything in my power to fend him off.”
Despite “bleeding profusely,” Lowe managed to get Moose outside to the backyard.
“He returned indoors and attacked me a second time. Not to be overly dramatic, but I genuinely felt like I was fighting for my life against this dog,” he recalled the terrifying ordeal. “And not just any dog, but my dog. We’ve only had him for just under three months, but he is our dog.”
Second Attack and Emergency Room Visit
Due to the severity of his injuries, Lowe requested his friends to “rush me to the ER.” He received stitches in “five or six different places” on his arm. The following day, Moose escaped and “made a beeline” directly for Lowe, attacking him again “less than 12 hours” after the initial incident.
“Again, I felt him ripping into my flesh,” Lowe recounted the second attack. “I managed to wrestle him to the ground. This dog is incredibly strong and explosive, but I restrained him, holding onto his collar, knowing my arm was ripped open again. I felt like I was fighting for my life; if he were to get up, I feared he could kill me.”
Lowe Addresses Dog’s Behavior and Rehoming Decision
Lowe’s family contacted emergency services, and police arrived to subdue Moose. Lowe returned to the hospital for additional stitches. He emphasized that the attacks were not the dog’s “fault,” suggesting Moose likely experienced prior trauma before they adopted him in January. Despite the circumstances and the family’s sadness, they are making arrangements to rehome Moose.
