woman bites dog.

Amy Rice of Minneapolis, MN showed an unusual amount of bravery and loyalty this week.

Amy's dog, a Labrador Retriever named "Ella" was in her fenced-in backyard when she was suddenly attacked by a pit bull terrier. The pit bull hurtled the fence and began viciously biting Ella.

Amy knew that her dog was in danger of losing her life. So, Amy went to her defense. Amy became, well, ferocious. At first, she wrestled the dog and tried to get the pit bull to open its mouth to release Ella. The pit bull held strong.

So, Amy decided to fight like a dog. She bit the dog smack on the nose and held on. She bit so strongly, in fact, that the pit bull's nose was bleeding into her mouth. (ack.) The pit bull gave-up on the attack and has been taken in for tests.

"I didn't plan it, that's what happened. I broke the skin and had pit bull blood in my mouth. I knew what happened, and I knew that it wasn't good."
