Woman Hospitalized After Pit Bull Attack in Massachusetts

A woman in Leominster, Massachusetts, was hospitalized with severe injuries after being attacked by her family's 5-year-old pit bull named 'Chunk' on Thursday afternoon. Police responded around 2 p.m. to a report of a dog bite, where firefighters were already treating the woman, who suffered significant injuries to her arms and hand. Her husband had to use force to pry the dog off her, which had latched onto one of her arms. Multiple officers were required to subdue the dog using catch poles before it was taken to a veterinarian. The woman was transported to UMass Memorial Medical Center for further treatment. This incident follows a recent fatal dog attack in Roxbury, highlighting ongoing concerns about pit bull safety.
