ATTACKED: Woman Fights Off Pit Bull Dogs With Shotgun

FLORIDA - A woman is living in fear after she says she had to use a shotgun to save her small dog from being killed by two pit bulls.

Those dogs are still living next door to her. But St. Lucie County Animal Control is investigating to see if that should change.

Thursday evening, Patricia Saenz said her Chihuahua mix named Skippy was under attack. Saenz said pit bulls from the next door neighbor's yard came over and went for the five year old, eight pound dog.

St. Lucie County Animal Control officers arrived and cited the dogs' owner for three violations - an $850 fine.

Saenz said she has no ill will towards the pit bull breed.

The owner of the dogs may have to surrender his animals if animal control deems them as 'dangerous'.

For at least the rest of this weekend, the pit bulls are still right next door.

That could all be changing as this investigation continues into next week.
