It happened in the 2500 block of Benning Road NW, where the poodle's owner was taking it for a walk. Three pit bulls apparently got loose and began attacking the smaller dog, authorities said.
Police arrived on the scene where they shot and killed one of the pit bulls.
The poodle was taken to Friendship Animal Hospital, where it's in critical condition, said Dr. Ashley Gallagher. The poodle will undergo surgery.
A good Samaritan is paying for part of the surgery, and the hospital will cover the rest, Gallagher said.
