Police are on the look out for two pit bull terriers that attacked a dog along the Uvas Creek levee Wednesday, leading the 70-year-old woman who owned the dog to sustain serious injuries after she fell.
Two light tan pit bulls, which both had white faces, attacked a chow mix along the levee at Wren Avenue and Uvas Park Drive about 3:15 p.m. Wednesday, Sgt. Wes Stanford said.
One bit the woman’s dog from behind, while the other bit her dog on neck, causing puncture wounds to the neck, hind quarters and back, Stanford said.
It looks as if the victim’s dog will recover from its non-life threatening injuries, he said.
At one point during the incident, the woman picked up a rock and threw it at one of the pit bulls, he said.
She ended up getting tangled in her dog’s leash and fell to the ground, breaking her left arm and wrist.
The two pit bulls were also traveling with a brown Chihuahua, Stanford said. Neither of the pit bulls were wearing collars, he said.
Anyone with information about the incident or pit bulls can contact Community Services Officer Maria Cabatingan at 846-0300.
