"I thought it was another dog getting attacked, but it was a woman," Lee said. "It was sad. She was screaming, hollering; it was crazy."
Patrick Lohr said he was walking his puppy when the two dogs ran toward him.
Lohr said it appeared the dogs just wanted to play, but then one of them sank its teeth into his leg, Kocot reported.
