Dog Bite - Dog Attack - Pit Bull - Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania | John Harris

Football coach bitten by pit bull when dog collar fails. 

The dog's was brand new, purchased two days earlier.  The dog, a pit bull, was tied to a tree with a cable which was attached to the D-ring on the collar.  The collar was made in China according to the label.  Collars made in the USA have the D-ring welded shut.  When the coach arrived to pick up one of his players the dog pulled against the tree.  The collar's D-ring was not welded shut.  As a result, the when the dog pulled the D-ring straighten out which released the dog.  The coach was viciously attacked from behind but escaped into his car.
