'I started kicking the pitbull,' the man said in an interview ONLY ON 13. He and a neighbor trying to stop the aggressive animal were injured. Now, he says BARC needs to do more about the attacking dog.
Tap for ABC13 Houston 24/7 Live StreamA Montrose man said his taekwondo training helped defend his dog after a pitbull attacked his pet during a walk.
"The next thing I know is that pitbull makes a beeline," Schiller told Eyewitness News in an interview"I started kicking the pitbull," Schiller recalled."I took the pitbull to the ground, and I started punching him in the head," he said. "I kept punching and punching. He wouldn't drop him. My dog was screaming. His eyes were bulging out. I thought he was gonna die.""Without thinking, I ran over to kind of grab the little dog," she said.
"I kept the pitbull pinned down with his head in mud 'cause I thought, 'OK, if I let this thing up, I'm next,'" Blasio said."She gets out of her car, and she says, 'That's my dog,'" Schiller remembered. But BARC said she likely won't be cited for having her dog off leash since none of its officers witnessed that for themselves.
