'Mic's' owner points out his attack wounds.

DALLAS - After two pit bulls attacked twice in less than one month, the victims have spoken out against a penalty they consider not fitting of the dangerous circumstances.

About 100 people showed up at a city hearing Tuesday demanding answers as to why the dogs could bite two people and not be put down.

Tuesday, "Mic's" owners said his dog was still feeling a little tender after his recent attack by the pit bulls. Deep cuts still cover both the owner and his dog.

"He had my dog by the throat, and ear, and head and on his back," said David Spoede. "And I thought my dog was dying"

Spoede jumped in to save Mic, which was when he said the dogs turned on him.

"I have about 20 puncture wounds and 16 stitches," he said. "I mean, I just got chewed up during all that fracus."

The owner of the pit bulls, John Harris, had to attend the Tuesay hearing that was designed to determine if the dogs are dangerous.

"We don't train our dogs to attack humans," he said.

The hearing was prompted by concerned citizens in the North Dallas neighborhood, which is where the two attacks occured in a one month period of time by the same pitt bulls.

Debbie O'Conner, who bitten on the finger, was the other victim.

"If they were my dogs and they attacked someone unprovoked and they weren't defending me, then I would put my dogs down," she said.

But, the owner of the pit bulls only has to abide by city law and put dangerous dog signs on his fence, keep them confined and get $100,000 worth of liability insurance.

"I couldn't tell you now if they are going to be euthanized," Harris said. "I only know they won't be brought back to that neighborhood."

The dogs were placed in quarantine for ten days after the attacks.

"If these dogs had been human and committed this same act, it would get more than 10 days probation," Spoede said.
