Re: Pit bulls attack seeing-eye dog in Victoria

11pm Global News (Channel 11) March 23/04

I watched an interview with the blind man who's dog was attacked and he said that at one point while he was lying on the Pit Bull,he took his prosthetic arm and shoved it into the Pit Bull's mouth to get the dog to clamp down on it and release his dog's neck. It had no effect, but the guy's arm was ruined and he wore a metal looking stump with no hand, for the interview.
Also mentioned on this newscast, was that the woman from the bsmt suite who was caring for the two Pit Bulls (and owned one of them), told the reporter she already had to get rid of a different Pit Bull she owned, because of another attack incident.
