Man Bitten By Pit Bulls While Playing With Daughter

A Florida man sustained personal injuries after being attacked by a pair of pit bull mixes that escaped from their yard while in his front yard with his daughter. The dogs are now in the custody of the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society.

The man informed deputies from the Okaloosa County, Florida Sheriff’s Office that one dog bit him on the arm, while the other bit his shoe on September 25. The incident report said that he suffered puncture wounds to his arm.

A man on another street said that the dogs approached him as well, but they ran away after he kicked one in the head.

According to Panhandle Animal Welfare Society Director Dee Thompson, the dogs have prior incidents within the previous two months and were under investigation as being dangerous.

Thompson said that one owner of the dogs was in jail, while the other was battling the dangerous dog classification. The victim went to the hospital for treatment.
