Woman strangles Rottweiler after attack
From correspondents in Miami
December 13, 2004
POLICE are considering charges against a woman who strangled
her
neighbor's Rottweiler, which she said had attacked her
Yorkshire
terrier, local press reported.
Robin Bush, was inside her home when the Rottweiler, Rox,
slipped
away from his owner and attacked the Yorkie, Candy, who was
outside with Bush's 10-year-old son, the Port St. Lucie News
reported, citing police.
When Bush heard her son scream, she ran out of the house,
threw a
beer bottle at the dog, kicked it, grabbed it by the collar
and
strangled it, while banging its head against the wall, the
newspaper said.
The owner of the Rottweiler, Rebecca Hartley, screamed for
help,
while an enraged Bush screamed that she would kill the animal.
Several minutes later, the dog was asphixiated.
Bush told police that she was afraid to let go of the animal
for
fear it would bite her.
