OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Two dogs whose breed has a reputation for being mean
played the roles of rescuers for a woman
who was being attacked by
another dog.
A red chow was on top of Angie Pecoraro, 22, in her yard on Monday when
two pit bulls jumped over a fence and fought off the chow, Nebraska
Humane Society spokeswoman Pam Wiese said.
Witnesses
said the chow had bitten Pecoraro several times on her hands,
arms and stomach, Wiese said.
An ambulance took Pecoraro
to a hospital, where she was treated and
released, Wiese said.
The Humane Society impounded the chow, and its owner
was ticketed for
not having the dog restrained and for harbouring a dangerous animal. It
will be quarantined to make
sure it doesn't have rabies, Wiese said.
