Dog attack update
There's an update to an item we posted a few days ago about a woman in Rancho Palos Verdes who was bitten by two loose German shepherds in her backyard while she was breaking up an attack on her own dog.
The Palos Verdes Peninsula News, a sister paper to the Daily Breeze, provides a full and more recent account from today's April 28 edition. Included are some comments from the German shepherds' owner, Renata Heindl. There also are comments from emergency and animal control authorities regarding how dog attack calls are handled and from neighbors.
Heindl's dogs remain under quarantine at her home. Maria Lyons told reporter Ashley Ratcliff that she is still "unsure" if she will press charges against Heindl.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
