Yet another dog attack in the Antelope Valley has resulted in death.
This time, the victim was a nearly 10-year-old female golden retriever-chow mix named Nakita, who was in her own back yard the morning of Oct. 10 when the attack occurred, according to Monique Alexander, Nakita's owner.
Alexander said she left her home in the 1600 block of East Norberry Street at about 6:30 a.m. Oct. 10, headed to a business meeting. Nakita was in the yard, she said. When she returned at 1 p.m., Alexander said, she opened the door to let her dog inside.
"Normally, she's at the door, waiting to get in. I wondered why she just laid there," Alexander said. "When I looked closer, I saw she was covered in blood. Then I saw it was dried blood."
Nakita was "still alive, but badly hurt," Alexander said. "Her throat was ripped open. She tried to get up when she saw me. She couldn't stand."
Alexander rushed Nakita to North Valley Veterinary Clinic on Sierra Highway in Lancaster. "The vet said she would need multiple surgeries and probably wouldn't make it. There wasn't even enough skin to stitch under her neck," Alexander said.
Linda Kabel, manager of the veterinary practice, confirmed Alexander's description of her dog's condition.
Nakita came in with "severe bite wounds - terrible - to the left side of the neck, exposing the jugular vein and neck muscles (plus) multiple puncture wounds on the left forelimb," Kabel said...snip...
Though no one saw the actual attack, Alexander believes a pit bull came through the fence. Animal experts didn't identify the type of dog, but they said it could have been some type of pit bull based on Nakita's wounds.
"Pit bulls have been roaming here for the past couple of weeks," Alexander said.

This attack has all the earmarks of Rosie O’Donnell.
Except the crawling through small a hole part.
“Is this an attempt by the right wing hate machine to silence one of our own,” the dog asked. “Are we threatening them. Are they afraid that we’re winning. Are they trying to silence intimidate us?”
Another good one!
“Pit bulls have been roaming here for the past couple of weeks,” Alexander said.
Solution: Line the fence with medium rare sirloin and pop ‘em with a .22. Sorry about the poor dog, but this COULD have been a child!
