PENNSYLVANIA -- Authorities are investigating after a pit bull attacked a woman and killed her puppy while she was walking her pet.
The attack happened Wednesday night on Grandview Avenue in North Braddock.
Police said the pit bull attacked a 9-month-old Scottish terrier and bit the woman while she tried to save her pet.
Police used a rope to subdue the pit bull and to tie its mouth shut. An officer even sat on the animal so it would not escape.
“Amazing job. Amazing job,” said animal enforcement officer Kenneth Ferree. “To put themselves right in front of this dog's mouth, it's almost like trying to wrestle an alligator, literally."
Investigators said they talked to the owner of the pit bull, and charges may be filed.
