Woman fights off pit bull attack

Monday, July 16, 2007

A woman says she had to use her bare hands to stop a pit bull from attacking her dog.

Dolores Molano says she had just taken her dog out for a bathroom break when a pit bull that was running loose in her neighborhood ran by her and attacked.

"He got a hold of my dog like a rag doll," she said. "I kicked it somewhere or I would have got bit."

Molano says the pit bull ran off after she kicked it. She took her dog to the veterinarian to be treated for injuries.

The owners of the pit bull were given a citation by police.
