Gini, I call you Hero too. Thank goodness you distracted him for a while giving the woman a chance to get away. It's awful, we won't walk our dogs in the neighborhood for fear of something like that. A lot of the Mexicans here get the half bred Pit Bulls and use them for fighting or guard dogs. I'm afraid to go out walking our dogs and if they are in the fenced downstairs yard one of us is always with them. It's a shame, we do what we are supposed to do get them licensed, shots, Vet care, etc etc but can't even take a walk in the neighborhood with our pups.
Thank goodness you didn't get bit yourself.
Jackie
