Man bites dog
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."

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.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.

I don't appreciate articles like this because they are very general as far as the breed of the dog is concerned. There are 28 breeds that are referred to as "Pit Bull". It is a very loose term and there is not doubt in my mind that whenever some incident happens with a dog the media loves using that term. Thus, criminalizing Staffie and American Bull Terriers owners and amongst other breeds. It is as general a term as the hackneyed "Hispanic". Way to go! Let’s keep the number of "humane" killings at the pound climbing by subjecting dogs that fit this loose description to punishment that should be directed towards irresponsible dog owners.
