COLORADO -- A 54-year-old Pueblo woman suffered minor injuries after she was attacked by two pit bull dogs Sunday morning while working in the 400 block of East Adams Avenue.
A witness told police he was driving down Adams at about 9 a.m., when he saw the two dogs attacking the woman, according to a report by officer Matthew Ballard.
The man said he stopped and got out of his truck and began hitting the dogs with a shovel to get them away from the woman.
The witness said a woman who lived in the 1100 block of Summit Avenue, came out of her house and retrieved the dogs.
Ballard said he contacted the woman at her home and she denied knowing anything about the dogs.
Ballard reported he saw the dogs move the curtain in front of a window of the home and then the dogs growled and barked at him.
The dog owner was issued a citation for having vicious animals and for false reporting.
The victim was taken to St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center where she was treated for minor injuries, according to Ballard's report.
