Astoria dog owners raise the alarm after aggressive pit bull viciously attacks several dogs - QNS

David Baldwin recounted a harrowing experience on July 3 when his Jack Russell terrier Percy was badly injured by an untethered female pit bull that jumped a fence. His dog suffered multiple puncture wounds, rib fractures, and a punctured chest cavity as the pit bull attacked while Baldwin was walking his pet. He bravely hoisted Percy into the air to protect him, but the aggressive dog managed to bite him in the process, leading to his own minor injuries. Following the incident, Baldwin reached out to other dog owners and learned of at least five similar aggressive encounters involving the pit bull.
