SAN ANTONIO - A man is being treated at the hospital after being attacked by a pit bull on the East Side.

The attack happened Monday morning on Gibbs Street near North Polaris Street. The man was walking on a sidewalk when the dog broke the chain he was on and bit the man in the ankle and thigh.

The man lost a lot of blood and was taken to the hospital.

The dog was picked up by Animal Care Services.

It is unclear as to whether the dog owner will be charged or cited.

and actually you're wrong. story after story has been written about the ones who have been mistreated hurting someone. if you were chained to a tree outside all of the time by a human, wouldn't YOU be upset at them? this is the owners fault and he needs to be punished for it! plain and simple. HUMANS over breed them, HUMANS train them to fight, HUMANS mistreat them...see the common denominator? you probably don't, sadly.

The only good pit bull is a dead one. Story after story has been written about the sweet pet who has been "loved and trained" then suddenly turns on its owner mauling or killing them. Time to ban this breed!!!

one of my pitties is a rescue from a lady who chained him up in her backyard as a pup and beat him with a water hose. the city confiscated him due to numerous calls about her actions. he was 8 months old. he is now almost 4, with luxated patellas in both knees, but is the sweetest, most loving boy because we trained him, and give him love and he LOVES to run around the yard chasing his toys...I hate people...

The pit is probably just as angry and unhappy as the owner and many people posting. Euthanize the dog and end its torture. Unfortunately that won't stop the owner from acquiring another one or someone else exploiting another breed. I've watched the vicious breed cycle from German Shepherds, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas (the ankle biters) etc, and it's always the owner who creates the problem. Responsible owners fix a problem dog situation before it gets to this level. Unfortunately it's more acceptable to euthanize a problem dog than to deal with the owner...
