Pit bull attacks Matteson woman

Pit Bull Attacks Pregnant Woman
Matteson IL - A trip to the mailbox turned scary for 30-year-old Dawn Mondo last week. Mondo who is 20-weeks pregnant, was on the sidewalk when she heard growling.
"I hear growling and snarling," Mondo said. "I look up and all of the sudden there's a male pit bull across the street in an attack stance, growling and staring at me."
Mondo said she dropped her papers, held up her hands, all the while not making eye contact with the dog, and started walking backwards. Then, the dog took chase.
"Before I knew it, I was knocked down pretty -- hard," Mondo said. "Thankfully, I was not bit by this animal, but I was knocked down pretty hard and I put my hand over my face and that's when the dog stopped."
Mondo called 911. Yet the action continued for the mother of a 1-year-old son. Mondo said the pit bull belonged to a neighbor and was still wearing the chain around its neck.
"The kicker is that their back yard is fenced in and in order to keep the dog outside, they have to also chain it to the ground," Mondo said.
The pit bull owner was ticketed for allowing the dog to run at-large.

Anytime you have a dog you should be responsible," Black said. "I'm an animal lover but I wouldn't let my dogs run lose or my cats for that matter."


Lessee here...The beast broke a chain then escaped a fence.
