Reported by: Stacy Daniel

A pit bull attacks a horse at a popular Central Coast beach.

The horse's owner, who did not want to go on camera, fearing some sort of retaliation, says she and two friends were riding on a trail in Oceano when the dark-bluish gray pit bull came from out of nowhere.

The horse's owner said, "It's a very big safety concern because that dog was off leash, and if that dog is still out there and were to attack somebody else, I'd kind of hate to think what would happen."

The horse is expected to make full recovery. Its owner says she is concerned about rabies and hopes the dog's owner will come forward and turn himself into Animal Control.

From Indianapolis a man was sentenced to two years for his pit bull's attack. The story can be found at the Indystar.com/crime&courts

This was today's news. The woman attacked lost a leg.

Aw, what a cutie!
I was just reading a thread about Ozzie Osbourne's pomeranian getting eaten by coyotes and I thought “At least I know that, short of the resurrection of the dinosaurs, nothing will ever eat MY dog...”

I had a pit bull come at my horse. That’s pretty much how it ended.

That speaks volumes about the public perception of the character of Pit Bull owners...
