He was very lucky the dog was wearing a collar. Must've been a vicious fight.
Don’t mess with Vaughn Pardue. That’s the lesson a currently-room-temperature pit bull learned today:
“Then I caught him out of the corner of my eye, he was coming out across the yard out into the street,” said Vaughn Pardue. “And he kept running up on me so I turned around and faced him and then I seen it was a pit bull and he wasn’t leaving.”
Pardue told KHOU he lunged at the dog and yelled in an attempt to scare the animal.
You think that’s guts? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet:
“Instead of him running, he jumped for my head and so I took a swing with my fist and got him in the head,” said Pardue.
“He was just all the time chewing and chewing and you know he had done bit me on the hands and arms,” Pardue said. “And I knew it was either I had to get him or he was gonna kill me.”
KHOU-TV said the man managed to get his hands around the dog’s collar to stop the attack as he yelled for help.
He then dragged the dog to his house, where his wife called 911.
When police got there and put the bloody dog in the back of their patrol car, they realized it was dead.
