Jerrell: "What went through my mind was 'go out there and get those darn dog off of her, just however I could do it.' I didn't have time to go get a club or nothing, just feet and hands."
The attack happened just after 2:30 Sunday afternoon, in the 100-block of Kiva Road, north of Fountain.
The victim told 11 news that she was walking her four small dogs, when the two other dogs came from behind her and attacked. She said she didn't even know they were there until they were
knocking her to the ground. One of the two bit her shoulder and arm. She had a friend drive her to the hospital. She said that the wounds will likely need stitches, but that she would be okay.
El Paso County Animal Enforcement Officers took both of the dogs into custody. They were originally identified as pit bulls or pit bull mixes but the Humane Society says they are actually a breed of bull dog.
The owner of the dogs has been cited with Unlawful Ownership of a Dangerous Dog. The Humane Society says the owner turned the dogs over to them to be euthanized.
The dogs will then be sent for rabies testing.
Jerrell says that he has seen both of the dogs running loose in the neighborhood before.
