    Two Pit Bulls Rescue Woman From Red Chow

    14 minutes ago Strange News - AP



    OMAHA, Neb. - 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 harboring a dangerous animal. It will be quarantined to make sure it doesn't have rabies, Wiese said.

    Good dogs. They get alot of bad press (usually the owner's fault). It's nice to see something positive.


    Chows can be pretty mean. I had one for awhile. It was really nice to me and my family, but he tried to eat all of my friends. Finally had to get rid of him when the neighboor kid came in our backyard when we weren't home and started barking at him on his hands and knees (who the hell does that?). He got a playbite on the arm and we had to give up the dog to save a lawsuit, even though the kid was trespassing.

    there once was a dog who was very sweet. But at one time the owners leave a child alone with it. When they return the dog had bitten the child. The people have to put the dog to sleep.
    after the dog was killed the vet found 19 cuts of scissors in the ears of the dog.:( The dog accepted 18 cuts.
    people should never let a dog and a child alone. Children are somethimes very mean to animals. i think it is the fault of the parent of that child in your story. It is their responsability to keep their child away from your property
