Archdale, NC -- It sounds too bizarre to be true, but a local woman fended off a four-legged intruder's attack with a butcher knife.
Nancy Verzone says a loose pit bull first went after her rat terrier in her backyard. When she snatched her dog from the pit bull's jaws, the attacking dog followed her inside.
"Here I was just stabbing just as hard as I could to get him to let go and he kept coming and coming," says Verzone, who has the bloody t-shirt to prove it. "The harder I stabbed the more he got mad," she says.
Randolph County Health Director MiMi Cooper sees the incident as a warning to keep dogs restrained. "Wake up people. You've got to take care of your dogs, you cannot let dogs run loose," says Cooper. "Dogs are predators."
Verzone says her rat terrier was injured so badly, she had her veterinarian euthanize the dog.
The pitbull's owner shot the dog in the head and buried it in his yard. Animal Control later made him dig it up so the dog could be sent to Raleigh for rabies testing. Cooper says because of the bullet wound to the pitbull's head, rabies testing came up inconclusive. Verzone is now receiving rabies vaccinations for her dog bite.
"It was the most heart wrenching thing for me to have to do that to that animal," says Verzone. "But it was either me or him."
The pit bull's owner promised to cover Verzone's rabies vaccination bill. The price tag tops $2400 dollars for a series of at least five shots. WFMY News 2

You're a PETA whore and didn't even know it...of course that's how the left works, by getting the dull and ignorant (i.e. "useful idiots") to do their will, thinking it's some type of moral crusade.
Then you ought to like my #81 ;-)
You’re not a U.S. citizen and you’re trying to tell U.S. citizens what they should be able to own! Go shoot your neighbors dog.
I’m really not that interested. Never mind.
Oh, I do. Very Much! ;-)
Are you admitting to killing pit bulls “just because”? I think you have a serious mental problem. Seek help.

Why don't you take your advocacy over to KOS and DU where you'll find more fellow travelers? The conservatives are too busy trying to preserve what liberties we have left than to argue them with your ilk.
It's a classic marxist template...Demonize something, et the media to work the ill-informed into a froth, regulate or ban it and presto! Less freedom, more control!
Want to ban all guns? Start with the "evil" AK47s.
Want to ban all as vehicles? Start with the "evil" SUVs.
Want to ban aanimal ownership? Start with the "evil" pit bulls.
It's such a predictable template, I really can't see why people keep falling for it.
Take your animal worship and dishonesty elsewhere. Just because you have a problem with me shooting dangerous/destructive animals on the range,...
I gave you exact quotes from existing statutes.
A person wising to dispute the classification of their dog as a pit bull is provided with a means to do so, as I previously quoted.
c. (1) A municipality adopting an ordinance pursuant to subsection a. of this section may require any person residing within the municipality who owns, keeps or harbors any kind of dog to provide proof that the dog is not a pit bull. If breed records are not available or the dog is a mongrel, hybrid, or mixed breed, the municipality may by visual inspection and use of detailed professional standards and illustrations decide if the dog is a pit bull type dog. In lieu of visual inspection, the municipality may require submission of a photo or photos of the dog for the purposes of this paragraph.
And why do you want to ban “AK47s” and “SUVs.?” A lot of good people use both for killing menacing pit bulls.
What have I said that's dishonest? PETA calls for elimination of the breed and so do you...if the truth hurts, so be it. I have no problem with the elimination of dangerous/destructive animals. I do have a problem with people who live their lives in such fear, paranoia and insecurity that they view the rest of the world as "dangerous/destructive."
You continue to state your false analogy. I prefer shooting pests, including pit bulls. PETA does not. Stop whining about the killing of pests.
When you put up a good argument so will I. As far as defending kids and animals from predators, that's NOT what you admitted to doing, NOR is it what you advocate. So either you're lying, you're baiting, or you're just plain crazy. I vote all three.
I had to kill one in the street once. Pit bull owners are frequently irresponsible lowlifes who let their dogs run loose.
Liar. You called for killing all pit bulls. So does PETA. There’s no false analogy here, bud.
