"When a man bites a dog, THAT'S news!"

NEW YORK (AP) – A Long Island man bit a pit bull that was attacking his pet Siberian husky and his action may have saved his dog’s life, police said. Richard Robbins, 44, said he was walking his three dogs Saturday morning when three pit bulls dashed from their owner’s side and one attacked his husky, Gina Marie. Robbins sank his teeth into the attacking pit bull’s head, leaving marks. He suffered multiple puncture wounds in the attack. “I wasn’t going to watch my dog die,” Robbins told the Daily News. “I bit right into the top of his head.” The pit bulls’ owner faces charges of assault and reckless endangerment.

—Just thought I’d share. I mean, it is news. [You gotta love a guy who names his husky “Gina Marie”]

I hope the pit bull has had its shots …

Was this Tyson?

Didn’t this happen in ‘The World According to Garp’?

I had to punch a pit bull that had my mutt by the throat once. I didn’t want to try to pull the pit off her, since that would hurt her worse, so I made a fist and punched it as hard as I could in the back of the neck. It let go, I kicked it off my porch and took my dog inside. Everyone was fine.

Good guy.
