“It was latched on shaking her. I grabbed the bat because it was the first thing I could find,” said the good Samaritan, Billy Mahoney. "I hit it and nothing happened at first. It kept shaking her. I hit it until the dog finally let go. It dropped her and just ran into the back of the building. The girl was in pretty bad shape. I was just praying she was going to make it, that she was going to be alright.”
