Edit: The doctor said the hole was an inch deep, I jogged 7 more minutes after this not realizing the severity and then it hit me lol

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A dog is on the loose after attacking a girl Wednesday in Miami-Dade, leaving blood, scattered dog treats and toys, and a mangled dog crate outside the scene.

Neighbors heard a girl screaming and called 911. A woman speaking through a Spanish translator said the dog wouldn’t let the girl go, biting one arm before going after the other.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Miami-Dade sheriff’s deputies responded to Northwest 66th Street around 4:40 p.m. for an animal bite. Deputies said they learned the dog was a family pet.

The dog’s owner, who asked to remain anonymous, told Local 10 the incident was a shock.

“It is a big shock because this is not him. This is completely out of character,” she said.

The American pit bull, named Diablo, was being sought by his owner after the victim’s mother called her.

“I heard that the police did tase him,” the owner said.

She said she rents the property so Diablo can live there comfortably. A mother and her two children help care for the 5-year-old dog, she said.

“I do have someone that’s here with him to just give him food, water, bathe him and everything like that,” she said. “Because I don’t have the groomer coming as often as I used to.”

She said the caretakers receive free rent in exchange for helping care for the dog.

MDSO told Local 10 that a deputy tried to Tase the dog but missed.

The dog ran away and remains on the loose.

About a month ago my Shih Tzu and I were attacked by a pit at the complex we had just moved into (Albuquerque 9/3).

My dog was fine, I got stitches, nerve damage and trauma. I try to take her out now at odd times to avoid anyone. There are still two pits and a GSD in this complex of seniors. No senior could control either of those dogs on a flexi leash.

The last two days, a friendly pit owner seems to be going out at the same time. She is in the adjacent open space. Today she started heading towards us after waving and trying to yell hello. Am sure she is trying to be a nice person and meet the new tenant. But it’s a small place, everyone knows I was attacked.

Twice now, I have to quickly scoop up my dog and rush in. What is wrong with these people? Why would she think I would want to be near her dog? Am sure it’s one of the “nice” ones she would say but I am traumatized. Leave us alone.

The court case on Hot Bench where the defendant , owner of American Bulldog claims that the attack happened because the owner of the small dog snuck up behind her and her dog asserted itself as an " alpha ". Small dog owner courageously fights off the bulldog to save his dog. Owner of attacking dog refuses to pay a modest vet bill. Parts 1+ 2, about 4 minutes each. Who sounds credible ?
