Pit bull terrier
A Placentia woman was injured Monday afternoon, when
one of her two pit bulls attacked and dragged her around her home, police said.The Placentia Police Department, Orange County Fire Authority and OC Animal Care got a call at 1:30 p.m. to a home at the 700 block of East Yorba Linda Boulevard,
where they found the woman with bite marks on her face, head, arms and hands, OCFA Capt. Steve Concialdi said.
The attack happened when the woman, suspected to be in her mid-40s, was bringing her male and a female pit bulls inside from the backyard.
The woman's adult daughter, who was inside the home, ran outside and yelled to two tree trimmers for help.
"I heard a scream come from inside the house" and ran inside, said Johnnyray Cabrera, one of the trimmers.
Cabrera said he grabbed a mop to get the dog, the male, off the woman.
"I started to yell at him, and he got more aggressive," Cabrera said. "I kept hitting it on the head with the mop and locked it in a room."
Placentia police officers used a Taser on the male dog because it was aggressive when they arrived, Point said. The female dog was also taken because of her aggressiveness, a Placentia Police Department statement said.
Both dogs were taken by OC Animal Care, and are scheduled to be euthanized Wednesday, police official Lt. Eric Point said. The department couldn't be reached for comment on Tuesday night.
The woman was treated by paramedics outside the home and taken to Placentia-Linda Hospital with severe, but not life-threatening, bite wounds.
And the advocates will keep driveling on and on about what sweet family dogs these make. Everyone's pibble has the sweetest, most kissiest nose, looks the cutest in a tutu, has the best nanny personality ... until this happens. Take a look at the pics of mangled children, adults and elderly (including loving owners of these dogs) and read their stories. If you don't cry and are still an advocate for these dogs, believing they have rights over a human, then you may be one of the 6%. I was lucky, mine was only a $400 vet bill for my horse and the horse had a complete recovery. Could have been much worse if the horse hadn't planted a hoof upside the bully's head which sent it staggering back into its yard. [Link]
