KDKA: Police Looking For Dog, Owner After Attack In Mt. Lebanon

Authorities are searching for a pit bull and its owner after a man says the dog attacked him, seemingly for no reason, over the weekend along a street in Mount Lebanon.

Paul Kruper’s face is torn up, the gash is difficult to look at. It took more than a dozen stitches to stop the bleeding and he will most likely need plastic surgery.

“At that moment, you get a cut on your face, there was blood pouring down my chin, there was blood everywhere,” said Kruper.
