FORT COLLINS — Larimer County Humane Society investigators are looking for the owner of two pit bulls that attacked a bichon frise and bit the smaller dog’s owner as she tried to fight them off. The attack was caught on videotape.
Jacqueline Harris was bitten in a Fort Collins business park on Wednesday, after the pit bulls chased and attacked her 10-pound dog, Louie.
The Humane Society didn’t return calls Monday.
The incident happened about 4 p.m. Wednesday in the 300 block of South Summit View Drive, Harris said.
Harris had brought Louie to work; he was in the garage with the garage door open.
Two young men were walking two pit bulls when the dogs spotted the bichon. The big dogs made a beeline for Louie, and the bichon ran out of the garage to get away from them, Harris said.
None of the dogs were leashed.
Harris and the two men who were walking the pit bulls chased the three dogs and caught up to them. As one pit bull clamped onto Louie, one of the men poured Gatorade on its head and the dog let go. Harris said the men told her they were going to put their dogs away and then help her out, but they never returned, she said.
Ralph Campana, a neighbor of Harris’ in the business park, was upset by the incident. “She got hurt pretty bad,” he said. “It’s just not right, what happened.”
