Norfolk Animal Control officers responded to the Norfolk Costco store after receiving calls about two pit bulls running loose in the area.
Authorities say a woman was entering the store around 10:45 a.m. with her dog on a leash, when the two loose pit bulls ran across the parking lot and attacked the woman's dog.
An employee of the Costco said people used water to subdue the dogs and then separated them.
Her dog was taken by her husband to a local veterinarian for treatment. The dog is undergoing surgery but is expected to be okay.
Both pit bulls were retrieved by Animal Control officers and taken to the Norfolk Animal Shelter. They will remain in quarantine for 10 days.
The owner of the dogs has been located and identified as 27-year-old Geoffrey McKenzie. He and the dogs reside in the 400 block of Honaker Avenue, which is about a half-mile from the Costco. He has been issued two summons for Animal at Large.
