TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Police in Florida say a dog named Scarface attacked a family who tried to put a sweater on it.

Tampa police say the pit bull mix bit a 52-year-old woman who was trying to dress it Friday and her husband was attacked while trying to pull the dog off her. Police say the couple's 22-year-old son was attacked while trying to stop the dog by stabbing it in the neck and head.

The three people escaped the house and left the dog in the backyard. They ended up in the hospital.

Police say animal control officers shot it with a tranquilizer gun, but it managed to get back into the house where two children were. Police used a bean bag gun and stun gun on Scarface before catching it.

Police say animal control officers shot it with a tranquilizer gun....

They should have shot the 52 yr old woman.

If someone forced me to dress up and wear one of those wretched ultra-cutesy "holiday" sweaters I'd probably bite 'em too.

Dogs are unpredictable, and any dog can bite. Generally dog bites are the fault of the dog's primary human companion. Pits do have a reputation for losing it without provocation but the bigger issue is the damage they are capable of once they lose it. This poor pup is likely doomed, but also likely better off.
