The miniature doberman pinscher was badly hurt in the accident and the owner's hands were injured. When police arrived, the pit bull returned and police shot and killed it.
Vernon Hills is just 35 miles from West Chicago where a little yorkie was killed by pit bulls that escaped from a woman operating a pit bull rescue.
