Pit Bull attacks 3, survives shot to the head
Authorities are searching for the owner of a pit bull terrier that attacked two women and a man in Orange County Sunday and survived being shot in the head, according to Local 6 News.
| "Honey? Was this hole in Fluffy's head before she ran away?" |
Three women were walking in a neighborhood on Lee Avenue off Orange Blossom Trail near Lake Holden when they saw a dog, according to the report. The women reportedly attempted to pet the dog and it attacked. "I felt like a 2-year-old helpless child," victim Jamie Garner said. "The only thing I could do was cry and ask somebody, please get the dog off me. But everybody was scared to come out of the house."
"Harwood! There's a dog eating a woman out in front of the house!"
"On our lawn?"
"Ummm... No. It's on the Jones' lawn."
"Hmmph. They should do something about it." |
The dog stopped attacking one woman and attacked anotherâs leg. "Four bite holes and a big gash on this leg — you can see all the way to my bone," Sabrina Harris told Local 6 News. Neighbors hit the dog with a stick and even shot it in the head, but the pit bull survived. The dog ran by 10 people and found another victim. "After he jumped on her, they got him away from her," a victim said. "He (then) found me. Come looking for me. And he dragged me from one point of the street to the next." Orange County Animal Control workers later captured the dog still roaming in the neighborhood with a visible gunshot wound to the head.

All three victims were transported to a local hospital with injuries from the dog. Two of the victims were released Sunday night. The dog was being evaluated by a veterinarian and will be quarantined for 10 days. Animal Control officials put up this sign letting the dogâs owner know he or she has until Jan. 9 to claim the dog.
"Bob? Is that Fluffy in that picture?"
"No, no! Fluffy doesn't have a hole through his head!" |
