A runner who was attacked by two pit bull dogs on Friday in Edenvale has laid a charge with the police.“I’m alive. A very scary ordeal,” he told TimesLIVE.
One dog grabbed him by his leg, tearing it, while the other grabbed him by his wrist and tore his arm. “I was hitting the other dog that was on my thigh, trying to get it off, but it didn’t want to come off.”“He was able to distract the dogs to get off me and follow him to his house to take cover and then he drove me back down the road from where I was. They called the ambulance for me,” said the runner who was admitted to hospital on Friday.
Owners should have securely locked gates and high walls; ideally, dogs should not have access to a gate opening to the road.
