Dad always told us that if one of his two pitbulls ever tried to get out of the yard, make sure to get them back. I came home from school one day, and one tried to run through the gate. When I pulled him back into the yard, he snarled and barked at me. It was a cold December day, and I slid on the ice. That’s when it happened. Both dogs attacked me; one was intent on killing me, while the other sacrificed her life to save mine. I was caught in a tug-a-war between both pit bulls.
