It is apparently a dog-eat-dog world, and not even pet owners are immune.

Olivette Police report a dog that was off-leash bit another dog and that dog's owner on March 1 in the 9300 block of Olive Boulevard.

Authorities say the offending pooch was a German Shepherd, which bit a terrier-type breed.

The German Shepherd's owner was ticketed.
