an ambulance, on the way to the ER. It's a beautiful day and he wanted to walk. 3 big dogs came out of nowhere and took him down. They went for his throat but he got his hands up to keep them away and the hands are pretty chewed up. He's got several deep bites, a torn place on his let and a bunch of other injuries. I got hysterical on the phone and he gave one of the cops that was riding in the ambulance with them the phone so he could get me calmed down. The cop told me that they weren't even wild dogs, somebody owns them AND THAT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGNIE. People like that don't deserve to own a pet. Anyway, my mother in law is on her way to get me I just took a valium and I'll let y'all know what's happening.

The part that really got to me was when he kept saying Trish, I couldn't fight them, I couldn't get them off. He said it 3-4 times. Oh yeah, this woman driving down the road saw it happening and she pulled in the parking lot with her horn blaring. That's finally when the dogs dropped him. She got a bloody Mark into the car and called 911. Thank god for her.

  - hey the sheriff can cease assets after a judgment - so you got no worries. I bet those dogs got a history - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:35 1
    - You are likely correct about the dogs not having this be the first bite history. -- nm - JenBro Feb 20, 10:43

Any idea what breed of dogs? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 20, 10:18 8
- This has been happening a bunch in DC with pitbulls, which always causes drama over the animal/upbringing/neighborhood. -- nm - MDH Feb 20, 10:19 7
  - speaking of pitbulls, only 40% of poll respondents were able to correctly identify one on sight. -- (link) - znufrii Feb 20, 10:35

      - About 10 years ago, a german shepherd i had just walked past, petted and greeted...took a run at me from 60 yards out. - Will Hunting Feb 20, 10:27
  - This was my first guess, but didn't want to assume. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 20, 10:19
