Three kids say they were bitten by the dog, but Mahogany took the brunt of the attack.
“Then it got to me when I was just standing by the wall, and then it got him again,” Mahogany Harris said through tears. “And then the dog started pulling his pants down.”
A couple hours after the attack, she pressed a cold pack against her stomach to reduce the swelling.
Fortunately, none of the three children had to go to the hospital.Their father, Ricky Harris, came out to save his children.
“My daddy was hitting him with a red stick,” Mahogany said.
Ricky Harris found a piece of wood on his porch and started hitting the dog with it. This gave the three kids enough time to run inside.
When police got to the scene, they say the dog lunged at the officer.
He then fired three shots, at least one of them hit the dog and the pit bull ran off. It was found a few blocks away in the backyard of its Roanoke Avenue home.
