EDITOR:

I witnessed an extremely vicious dog attack by a black and white pit bull at the Save Mart grocery store lot. It attacked a light brown shepherd again and again. In spite of five or six people trying to pull it off, it could not be stopped, not by pieces of wood or rocks or anything else. The pit bull was being walked by a middle-age lady with two other small dogs. The shepherd was being walked by a man and a girl, maybe 6 years old.

People should be warned to stay away from the area until this dog is found. It is a killing machine. The pit bull had a gash in its forehead. I don’t know if the other dog survived.

I hope someone got a picture. Keep your dogs at home for a while folks.
