Michigan Pit Bulls Escape Home, Kill Dog, Bite Woman

According to the Chicago Tribune, A Michigan man did not sufficiently pen his American pit bull terriers, which escaped from his home, killed a neighbor's dog, and bit a woman. The pit bull dog bite took place on Tuesday, July 21, in Allendale Township, MI, just outside of Grand Rapids

The 24-year-old owner of the two pit bulls, Craig Lick, tried to keep his aggressive dogs from escaping, but the two animals pushed out an air condition unit and killed a dachshund named Peanut who lived near by. The dangerous dogs also bit the dachshund's owner, an 18-year-old woman. The dogs escaped despite a new chain link fence and electronic dog fence.

The dogs, two five-year-old pit bulls named Riddick and Diesel, are now quarantined at an Ottawa County animal control center.
