Woman in hospital after neighbor's pitbull jumps fence and attacks

 Roland Perez  has a hard time believing his dog is culprit behind the attack.

"That would be devastating to have our dog euthanized," says Perez. "To let a dog go for something like that... my dogs are tame the way they are. They show discipline to their owners."

"When they told me it was Baby, our little dog, I said, 'Baby'?," says Perez. "She's been in the family for years and she's a good dog. It wasn't an attack, it was just a bite...



SAN ANTONIO -- A woman walking her dog Wednesday morning was charged by a neighbor's pit bull that jumped out of its fence.




It happened at the 6000 block of Royal Valley Lane.



"The pit bull was trying to get a hold of our puppy and my aunt got the puppy but it's leg got caught with the pit bull, and the pit bull ended up biting her," explains Fernando Wolf, the victim's nephew.



The woman, described to be in her forties, was transported to the hospital where she suffered a laceration to the hand. Her puppy is also recovering from minor injuries. Both are doing okay.



Animal Care Services took the pit bull away and cited the owner, Roland Perez, who has a hard time believing his dog is culprit behind the attack.



"When they told me it was Baby, our little dog, I said, 'Baby'?," says Perez. "She's been in the family for years and she's a good dog. It wasn't an attack, it was just a bite... My dog did jump over the fence and did bite [my neighbor] and I'm very sorry for that."



Animal Care Services will decide what to do with the dog in ten days. Until then, Perez says he'll be building a higher fence to keep his other three pit bulls from escaping.



"I think the dog should be laid to rest already because it's out of control," explains Wolf, who says Perez's dogs have gotten into his yard before.



"That would be devastating to have our dog euthanized," says Perez. "To let a dog go for something like that... my dogs are tame the way they are. They show discipline to their owners."
