Boston Celtics public relations director Heather Walker said Friday that Barney bit her wrist and drew blood as she tried to pat the Scottish terrier in September after a White House ceremony honoring the team's 17th NBA championship.

"It was very strange. I didn't expect him to bite me," Walker told The Associated Press.

Last week, Barney bit Reuters reporter Jon Decker's index finger when he reached down to pet the seemingly docile dog. Sally McDonough, a spokeswoman for first lady Laura Bush, said jokingly then of Barney: "I think it was his way of saying he was done with the paparazzi."

Or in this case, it was a woman who did the chomping.

There's an old saw that says it's not news if a dog bites a human, but it is if the human bites a dog.

And that's exactly what happened in Minnesota -- and it involved a pit bull, no less.

It seems the mean dog jumped over a fence and attacked Amy Rice's Lab. And she did what any self-respecting pet owner would do: She got even.

I ended up biting the pit bull on the nose," said Rice, 38, whose dog, Ella, was attacked in her northeast Minneapolis yard. "I didn't plan it, that's what happened."
