INWOOD, WV - An Inwood man is recovering after being attacked by a pit bull outside his house Saturday afternoon.

John Ashwood was taken to city hospital with serious injuries to his arm and his leg.

When police arrived, the dog was still on the loose. When they caught up with it, the dog was on Craftsman Lane. At first police tazed the animal, but the dog later lunged at an officer and police shot and killed it.

Police say as the investigation continues they do plan to file criminal charges.

Very close to home. And this ties in with the weekly poll question that ends at 12am Monday morning: How should Pit Bull owners be punished if their dog attacks innocents? A Weekly Poll

OK.

Popcorn time again.

The Freepidiots who insist in popping up with irrational statements.

There is no such thing as a pit bull. If there is a drop of any other breed in the savage beast is is something else. I choose "pink bunnies."

Remarkably, every other Freeper seems to know what a pit bull is, and what is does most often.
