I think this 10 year old girl is my new hero. Tegan Hert from Omaha, Nebraska was out walking her little 4 pound chihuahua. (That's my size, so I can relate to this story.) Out of nowhere, a vicious pit bull came charging out of a yard and went for her precious pup. The girl jumped on the back of the pit bull and started beating its head with her fists to distract it from hurting the dog. Tegan's mom and neighbor came out and helped rescue both the puppy and the brave hero. How many adults would risk their lives to save their dog? One time when Sheba (now in Dog Heaven) was just 7 weeks old, a mean pit bull ripped through a screen door and ran across the street to attack Sheba. Linda picked her up high above her head and kicked the dog. It bit her in the butt, but luckily her jeans were loose and it only tore the material. Good thing Linda is a 3rd Degree Black belt and can kick some pit bull butt!! (or maybe it was just luck her butt isn't bigger.) About 5 million people get bitten by dogs just in the US . Most are children under 11 and the biggest culprit, you guessed it: it pit bulls. 75% of dogs that are shot by NY City police are PB's because of dog attacks. If you do have a PB, please be extra careful to assure others safety.
