Owner Bit in 2-Dog Fight

A smaller terrier mix and its owner were hurt Sunday when a second dog escaped a truck in the parking lot.

The Australian Blue Healer had slipped out the back window of its owner's truck, according to the incident report. The Oklahoma man said the window was slightly open, but he didn't know until it was too late.

The terrier got away from the brawl with two small puncture wounds to the neck and throat. Its owner, a Dalton man who broke up the dualing dogs, was bit on the left wrist, causing a small cut.

The injured man chose not to speak to or pursue charges, and said his dog would be fine.

The dog bite follows in which bit a young boy in a Cartersville neighborhood.
