Re Pete: The owner of the Pit Bull had it on a leash but could not stop it. Funny thing is is that I jokingly call my niece a Pit Bull as she is a killer Lawyer. The dog was put down by the owner. The first round of antibiotics were not working so they had to use a really strong penicillin based one to stop the infections. Also with most dogs that attack you if they grab your arm you can put your other arm behind its head and just fall down breaking its neck. Not sure if this would work with a Pit Bull though and that scares even me.
