BROOKSVILLE, FL -- It aint the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog. Just ask the ten year old Brooksville girl who was walking her two pit bulls Monday.
According to a Hernando County Sheriff's report, the unnamed child was walking her friends two pit bulls when three dachshunds escaped from their home and charged the big dogs. The sheriff's report says, "The one dachshund nipped (the girl's)right leg in the back right above the ankle. (The girl) stated that the pit bulls did nothing but look at the three dachshunds."
The girl was not seriously hurt. Just a scratch, according to the report.
The dachshunds' owner, Chris Crawford, came to the rescue and made sure the little girl was alright. He may also have been trying to prevent his puny pooches from making the pit bulls angry.
Deputies were called to make sure the three attack dachshunds named Speckles, Peanuts and Pupperoo had their shots. No criminal charges were filed.
