In a YouTube clip a man's voice can be heard, "Can you take it nice? Aw, thank you. So nice."
The foster owners of the 7-year-old pit bull "Buddy" have started an online petition to save his life after he attacked two vet technicians.
The owners did not return our request for comment, but according to their petition, said he's a good dog.
They wrote, "despite all he has been through, he is still happy, polite and listens very well. All he needs is a tennis ball and a few treats and he is happy."
However, it is a different story from the women on the receiving end of the dogs attack.
"10 to 15 seconds later he jumped up from laying down and was attached to my face," said technician Rebecca Britz.
Britz said she was bitten on the face and arms after she checked "Buddy's" sutures.
"This is the worst bite in 19 years of practicing," said Dr. Cynthia Cecott, the veterinarian.
The veterinarian and another technician did a rabies exam on the dog, with the foster owner in the room.
Lisa Goolsby said they decided to take off the muzzle because they thought he was calm.
That's when the dog lunged at Goolsby.
"He came full force again. I felt him coming at my face. All I remember is doing this, ok and he got me here and he was hanging on here," Goolsby added.
"It's about the danger that this animal had potential to do to us, so what could they do to somebody else or a small child. That's my biggest concern," said Britz.
Cook County Animal Control said a "vicious dog" hearing will take place at a future date.
A judge will determine what will happen to the dog.
