‘Aggressive’ pit bull attacks senior, dog in White Rock, B.C.: city
WHITE ROCK, B.C. — A city official in White Rock, B.C., says a senior is recovering from extensive injuries to her hand after she and her small dog were attacked by a pit bull.
City spokeswoman Farnaz Farrokh says the woman, who is in her 70s, was walking her Yorkie in a laneway on Aug. 20 when a pit bull suddenly emerged from a nearby property and attacked the much smaller dog.
Farrokh says the woman had to be taken to hospital because she suffered serious injuries to her hand when she got between the dogs to separate them.
The Yorkie was taken to a veterinary hospital and kept overnight, but Farrokh says the owner has reported that it is still bleeding and in pain more than a week after the incident.
