On Feb. 4, 2013, two innocent Lehigh Valley residents were mauled by a roaming pit bull in Lehigh County PA. A press release provided by the Salisbury Township Police said that they were called to the 1400 block of Pearl Avenue to investigate a dog attack. The officers found a woman who was bitten and knocked down by a stray pit bull in her own front yard.
As the Salisbury Township Animal Control Officer and the Lehigh County Humane Society were helping the dog bite victim and trying to capture the unrestrained pit bull, it attacked a 73 year-old man and his small dog who were walking nearby. Both Lehigh Valley dog bite victims required medical care.
The small dog was taken to a local vet’s office where surgery was needed to repair numerous major injuries.
