FRANKFORD - May 24, 2009 (WPVI) -- A woman was mauled by a pit bull inside her home this morning.
Police were called to the 4700 block of Worth Street in Philadelphia's Frankford section just before 4:00.
The 43-year-old homeowner said she had been attacked by her daughter's pit bull and the dog was blocking their escape from the upstairs of the home.
. . .
The victim told police the mauling happened when she tried to break up a fight between the pit bull and another dog. She also said the pit bull was under her care because it had bitten one of her daughter's neighbors.
She says her daughter was trying to find the dog a new home.

We had a huge Boxer when I was 5. That thing was after me constantly. My Mom was always saying " Stop playing with that dog!" I wasn't. I was running for my life, looking for a place to hide. Today I'm certain someone would call it a Pit. Btw, they got rid of Amah when it destroyed the front door.
Looks like a Golden Retriever to me.
You’re talking about the dog sitting on the sofa in the video commercial, right?
(Just a little comedy relief before returning everyone to the head bashing that always accompanies these threads.)
In yer zeal as FR’s resident PPit Bull’s Torquemada :
A) I’m not sure that is a pit bull, looks more like an American Bull Dog..large muscled dog with English style face...maybe a Johnson (no, not that one)
B) A woman gets bit trying to break up a dog fight barehanded is not exactly up to your usual fare...that can happen with any dog...it’s akin to taking their food from them
That’s a good one; It took me three tries to find the pit!
There’s two American Bulldogs that live near my house, chained up in their backyard; occasionally I see a litter of puppies in there. I want one, but I already have an enormous smelly dog and I don’t think Mr. Legs will let me have another.
There comes a point when things do get old - and as a Pit Bull owner I tire of these endless postings especially when, like today, the dog in question is not even a Pit Bull.
The news media is obsessed with this and this is the same media that assurred us that Zero was fit to be president.
Bwahaha! I saw that too, I wonder if the guy knows what story his ad prefaces...
Yeah, it looks like a bull dog, and you can get bit breaking up a dog fight. So what?
What I found more interesting about this story is this woman was trying to foist an animal with a bite history on some other unsuspecting person, and had this happen as a result.
We had a wonderful doggie for 13 years. She developed hip dysplasia and we had to have her put to sleep. It's been 6 years and we are still dogless. I now have herniated disks and it would be difficult to walk a dog on some days so I guess we shall remain dogless.
It had nothing to do with your anti-pit bull crusade? Did you realize it was a bull dog when you posted it?
One of my Jack Russel Terriers bit me when I tried to grab her collar and get her out of a fight...... a fight she started BTW.
So, a lot of us agree that Chet99’s postings border on OCD and that they are at least annoying.....
.....but here we are feeding his threads like good co-dependent enablers.
That’s terrible!
You know, there are some spaniels that were bred to be nothing but lap warmers, and they don’t need much excercise at all.
King Charles Cavaliers are one breed, I think.
Yeah, but stupid people are even more common that pit bulls.
Awww—I cannot imagine being dogless. If you really need a fix, come visit. Gwen would be glad to shed all over you!
I love these threads!
You can’t change people’s minds if you don’t talk about it.
The more false PB stories that come to light, the more people will realize that breed bans are needlessly intrusive and ineffective.
I was once bitten by a golden retriever. I did the same stupid thing, I tried to stop a fight between she and another golden. And I should have known better.
Thank you. I debated myself for several minutes before pressing Post. On these PB threads, you never know who you might offend with an OT reply.
I would never presume to disagree with the personification of militant fecundity.
my last red Dobie ...
i tried to feed him a Checkers Cheeseburger by my mouth having him jump up and take it....I'm 6'5”
he jumped up and in his enthusiasm, broke my nose and bit the end off...the emergency room was able to sew it back on thankfully
poor boy he was shore skeered after that...blood everywhere...my wife was there preggers too..
man, was I a dumbass huh?
we're moving soon to acreage, probably buy another Dobie soon....
That story reminds me of the time I tried to “cube” a block of ice - with my forehead.
(I quit drinking a couple of years later.)
