REESEVILLE, Wis. (AP) - Police say a woman walking her Dachshund in Reeseville was seriously injured when she and her pet were attacked by a runaway dog.
The 53-year-old woman was taken by ambulance to Beaver Dam Community Hospital Thursday. Police say she received numerous puncture wounds, as did her Dachshund, who was taken to a veterinarian.
Authorities say the attacking pit bull apparently escaped from a fenced back yard. A passer-by came to the woman’s rescue and restrained the pit bull on the ground. Police say the pit bull died while it was being restrained.
