Ocean Gate Community Bands Together To Support Poodle Attacked By Pit Bull

It started out as a man walking his poodle Saphiria down an Ocean Gate street on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Out of nowhere, a pit bull charged out of a house, and attacked both the man and the poodle. The owner tried to fend him off and was bitten. The pit bull attacked the poodle multiple times.

"This dog proceeded to drag, shred and rip the poodle apart," according to the gofundme page established to help the family with veterinary bills.

Saphiria, the poodle, lost one of her eyes in the attack.

She needed needed extensive surgery for the wounds and to remove her badly damaged eye.

"This GoFundMe will help offset surgery, and future medical costs for Saphiria," the post states. "Please find it in your heart to donate. Thank you."

This is a developing story. Patch will provide more information when it becomes available.
