It’s a dog eat dog world
A pit bull belonging to a 81-year-old man broke away from his elderly owner and attacked another dog in Marine Park, severely injuring the hapless canine.
The victim’s owner told police that she was on Fillmore Avenue near E. 31st Street at 12:52 pm, when the wayward pit bull tore into her German shepherd, causing severe injuries, according to police.
At one point, a police officer fired on the renegade hound, although no human or animal was struck by the round.
Both animals were removed to area animal clinics for treatment, and no charges have been filed at this time, according to police.
