A Mustang family is concerned for the safety of their neighborhood after members of the family said their dog was attacked by two neighboring pit bulls.Family members said the attack happened Friday morning at a home near Czech Hall Road and Southwest 74th Street. The pit pulls jumped over the family's fence and attacked their dog, Bowzer, in the backyard, according to police."He's our family member. He really is," Tracy Thompson said. "Just our heart is hurting. We just miss him so much."Bowzer survived the attack, but he lost a lot of blood and was left with a severely injured leg, Thompson said. Despite Bowzer surviving, Thompson said she's still concerned because police allowed the two pit bulls to go back home with their owner."This was an attack between dogs, not on a human, and since the owner of the dogs was able to secure them, quarantine them at their home, that's what we decided to do," said Deputy Chief Mike Wallace, with the Mustang Police Department.Thompson said she's concerned the dogs will just get out again. Next time, she fears they will attack a person."We were too scared to go Christmas shopping on Saturday and leave our boxer out there. We don't feel safe," Thompson said. A judge would have to determine if the owner of the pit bulls will be required to better secure her fence. The owner said she plans to find new homes for the dogs.
