OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - 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.
I bet their owners drive an SUV!! LOL
Amazing that the Chow is in good enough shape to be impounded.
Good dogs! I prefer Rotweillers....

Ping!
WOW, is this article correct? or did the chow save the woman from 2 pitbulls? my head is spinning hahaha
That Chow must have been mistreated. I've owned Chows for 20 years, and never had a single problem with any of them. The one I have now, is a spoiled rotten princess...and is afraid of strangers. She barks, growls, then runs and hides behind her momma.
Pit Bull Hero Ping!
Thanks for posting a positive pit story.
LMAO. We have a Chow who does the same things. We love her to pieces.
Chows have so much personality. Mine will get in a wagon and sit, and have us pull her around the back yard...one time she even wore one of those Burger King crowns they give out to kids. Like you, we love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her...or our other "puppy" either. LOL
LOL! I get it ;)
Wow! It doesn't even sound like they were her dogs but took it upon themselves to rescue her. Aren't dogs amazing!
Funny the only chow I've know was into eating children, my son included. He gave one child over 70 + stitches and a night in the hospital.
He gave my son at least 10 scars starting with his thighs and heading up to his throat. This dog knew these boys and was not an abused or mistreated dog. He was returned to the owner after the first child was attacked because the owners claimed the boy must have provoked him.
He then just a few months later attacked my 4 yr old who wasn't even near the dog. My child was playing ball and the dog jumped and attacked for no reason. Needless to say I don't trust chows or the other known offenders. I have a special hatred for the chows.
We had a problem around here with someone letting there "Chow" run loose. The athorities treated the whole thing like a joke. They did not want to be bothered. This chow had a problem with not likeing children. Finally, When approached by a 5 year old...This chow took a chunk out of his face....and left scares that will never go away. The owner still tried to rescue the chow from the court. The judge saw it different and had the dog put down. The owner also had no insurance and not a pot to pea in. The childs parents had to foot all the medical bills. I believe that chows need a whole lot of love and care if they are not to turn out with a mean side. They are no where near as mean as a pitbull who is out for blood.
I just posted the same thing. Some of them seem to have an extreem dislike for children.
Those are terrible things that happened. My Chows have always been very socialized since they were pups...with all ages of people, and with other dogs. I have three daughters, ages 21, 16, and 12. Needless to say, we have always had lots of kids in and out of our house. With the Chow I have now, I give each new person directions on how to let her approach them, when she is comfortable doing so. After about 15 minutes she is all calm and will give them a good sniffing and then wash their hands. I now have a 5 month old grandson, and when he visits, she will give him a quick sniff and lay down next to him...then she watches everyone. It's like she is his momma. Chows are a very special breed of dog and need lots of love and socialization at an early age. They can easily become mean if they are mistreated in any way, or allowed to run loose. I have seen mean Chows and stay clear of them. Out of the four Chows I have owned, I have never had one single problem...and would trust them with my life.
"That Chow must have been mistreated."
Nonsense. There are such things as dogs who naturally are nasty (or at least have some specific trigger). Not every dog who is "bad" ever had a bad owner - that's libel/slander when you have absolutely no proof.
Chow Chows have a reputation for being questionable. To think it's impossible for 1 dog of any kind to be bad sans poor treatment is to be in denial, which is dangerous both for innocent bystanders and to the breed in general.
had a similar problem here with a golden lab (in heat)(intentionally allowed to run freely at 4am), defecating in my (small) yard
You can solve the problem by studding a 5lb cake of prime rib bones with ducolax
we call them "Bungalow torpedoes".
