There was a story on the news today about a woman being saved by two pit bulls. She was being attacked by a chow-chow and her boyfriend's two dogs jumped in and saved the day. I believe it happened in Iowa but not exactly sure. I am looking for the story on the news' website but no luck. BTW, the two pits did not kill or maul the chow.

Two Pit Bulls Rescue Woman From Red Chow
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Two dogs whose breed has a reputation for being mean played the roles of rescuers for a woman who was being attacked by another dog.
A red chow was on top of Angie Pecoraro, 22, in her yard on Monday when two pit bulls jumped over a fence and fought off the chow, Nebraska Humane Society spokeswoman Pam Wiese said.
Witnesses said the chow had bitten Pecoraro several times on her hands, arms and stomach, Wiese said.
An ambulance took Pecoraro to a hospital, where she was treated and released, Wiese said.
The Humane Society impounded the chow, and its owner was ticketed for not having the dog restrained and for harboring a dangerous animal. It will be quarantined to make sure it doesn't have rabies, Wiese said.

Thanks for finding it. I saw the clip while sitting at the car dealers waiting for my vehicle. I could not believe the idiotic responses from some of the people that were there. Breed bashing, breed banning, etc. They all left with a lesson in common sense and BSL. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> "The stupidity of mankind never ceases to amaze me."

The breed bashing does get old... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Of course I do a bit of it myself, but it's mainly to bring people back to this plan of reality in regards to what their dog is actually capable of. Every dog breed is capable of virtually any type of work, after a fashion - it may not be at a good lvl, but if you show a dog what you want it to do, and use the correct training method, you'll get *some* kind of results..
The all Corgi sled dog team jumps to mind. And no, I'm *not* kidding. I actually had trouble breathing, I was laughing so hard.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
One of the regrets of my life is that I didn't have a camera that day...
