GEORGIA -- Authorities say a great grandmother used a kitchen knife to fend off an attack by two American bulldogs.
Margie Hunt tells CBS Atlanta she was attacked Wednesday in her front yard, as she went outside to check her mailbox in Avondale Estates.
The 71-year-old says one dog bit her in the chest, and she used the knife to try and keep the dogs from knocking her down.
Hunt was treated for her injuries at a hospital and later released. CBS Atlanta reports the dogs are owned by people in the neighborhood.
Avondale Estates is about eight miles east of downtown Atlanta.
