The witness says that the pit bulls had flayed the woman from her ankle to her knee - removing all the skin. This is a type of horrific injury virtually unique to pit bull attacks.
The owner of the dogs was also taken to the hospital for bites she received trying, with others to beat the dogs off with bricks and boards. The owner says she's not a bad person, that she's sorry, and that the pit bulls were her and her children's protection.
