A passerby stabbed a dog to death Sunday after the dog attacked an elderly woman and her dog on her front lawn in Council Bluffs, an Iowa suburb of Omaha, Neb., the Omaha World-Herald reported.
Kevin Daub attempted to pull the American bulldog off of 77-year-old Ann Lyon, but he was unable to do so and had to pull out his pocketknife, the World-Herald reported.
Police said in the article that the dog died of at least four punctures to its abdomen. An animal control officer found that the dog's license and vaccinations were up-to-date, and it had no history of attacks.
Neither Daub nor Lyon suffered severe injuries, although Lyon had bite marks on her arm and hand. Lyon's dog was also uninjured, according to the World-Herald. -C.R.
