Woman Bites Dog Who Attacked Her Dog

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Amy Rice feared for her dog's life when a pit bull jumped over a fence into her yard and attacked her pooch. So she took matters into her own mouth.

Rice says she bit the pit bull on the nose Friday after trying to pull the dog's jaws off her Labrador retriever, Ella. The dog had jumped a fence to get into Rice's northeast Minneapolis yard, and Rice says she feared the pit bull would kill Ella.

"I didn't plan it, that's what happened. I broke the skin and had pit bull blood in my mouth," said Rice, 38. "I knew what happened, and I knew that it wasn't good."

The pit bull was quarantined Wednesday by Minneapolis Animal Control officers while rabies tests are being completed. Rice's doctor will determine whether she needs shots for rabies.

"I was sure that my dog was dying in my arms; it was horrible," Rice said.

Ella is recovering with staples and stitches to her head and a crushed ear canal, but she is afraid to go for walks, Rice said.

What if she gave the dog rabies? Woudln't that be a hoot?

[Kidlicious]

She can probably sue the owners of the pit bull.

[Riesstiu IV]

Pit Bulls as pets should be banned. Those things are monsters.

There's an old joke.
Teacher: ...and that's why we should remember about hygiene, we should wash hands: bacteries can be transmitted through contacts with animals. Can anyone give an example?
Johnie: me! My aunt kissed a dog.
teacher: and what's happened?
Johnie: The dog died.

Dog Drives Family Van Over 5-Year-Old Girl
Girl Suffers Bruised Lungs, Scrapes


BLOUNT COUNTY, Tenn. -- A Tennessee 5-year-old will live after being run over by a car driven by the family dog.

While the Sipe family loaded their blue van with some scrap wood in the family's back yard on Tuesday, Widget, the family mutt, made a run toward the idling vehicle. The driver's side door was open.

"The dog jumped in, landed on the gas (pedal), the car door knocked Kalli down, and the van tire drove completely over her body," said the little girl's mother, Keyna Sipe. "It rolled from here, completely down her chest."

Kalli suffered bruised lungs, a small puncture in one lung and scrapes all over her body. Tire tread marks were still visible on her side after she returned from being treated at the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

"I heard the engine running, and I turned around to look, and I just remember screaming, 'No!'" Keyna Sipe said.

Immediately after the accident, Keyna Sipe had to chase down the van and stop it by pushing her hand on the brake pedal.

She said she's not sure how the vehicle changed gears. She thought it was in park when she got out of the van.

The Blount County Sheriff's Department confirms her story. In their report, Deputy Patrick Pearson said the dog hit the gas and sent the vehicle into reverse over the top of Kalli Sipe.

While the Sipes say they were initially pretty upset with Widget, who is still a puppy, they're now ready to welcome him back into the family.

"We're going to take him to driving school," Keyna Sipe said.

All that's left now is to have the fifth birthday party that was pre-empted by the strange accident.

"Everybody gathered to sing Happy Birthday in the emergency room," Kalli said.

Dogs: loving family pets, or homicidal maniacs? Say what you will about cats and their occasional disdain for human company, but you would never catch one running over a 5 year old on her birthday.

I've had to stop other dogs from attacking my dog on two occassions. The first time a good swift kick to the ribs worked and on the second I had to hit the same dog repeatedly with my 35lb book bag. Ended up breaking the hand strap.

If your standard spook is without his garroting wire, then he's as good as dead.
