Jogger Shoots at Aggressive Pit Bull

We've all seen the stories: someone is running or walking past a home where the owner has a pit bull and the dog "somehow" gets loose or escapes a fenced yard and attacks the victim . . . sometimes with fatal results. So you can't blame a Florida woman, Christine Bruce, for carrying a baseball bat, mace and a handgun when she jogs after getting attacked by one of these canine monsters several years ago. She claims the owner of a dog on her route was getting the dog excited and then tried to get him to attack her. She, of course, didn't wait to see if poochie was friendly or not and fired at it once and missed.
The dog's owner says it was all a misunderstanding and that his dog just got off its lease and stopped when he called it. Then again, when cops went to investigate, the dog acted aggressively toward them. Now the whole matter has been turned over to local Animal Control. (Local 6)
