The second pit bull ran in seconds later and attacked the girl as her mother and grandmother struggled to get her free. “He had her by the leg and I had to get his teeth off of her,” Margaret Morales said. “He bit my hand and my hand’s pretty severely cut open.” Unable to get her daughter free, Jamie Morales picked up a knife and began stabbing the dogs. “I had to stab the dog … I had to,” Jamie Morales said. “It was either him or my daughter and I chose my daughter.” One of the dogs died after being stabbed, said Jaime Morales, whose face was also mauled in the incident. The family doesn’t know what caused the dogs to attack. “This is the first time this happened,” Margaret Morales said. The dogs, Butch Cabrera, a brown pit bull, and Raider Lopez, a gray pit bull, had lived with the family for three years in the 9600 block of Homebrook Street.

I fought for like six minutes and then I just realized I was still in the ditch and I needed to be up in the road just in case someone came by that they could see me,” said Green. Green says a lady found her in the road and began honking her horn to get the pit bulls away. Green underwent a five-hour surgery, two blood transfusions, and has 91 puncture wounds.
