“By the time I got to the guns, the dog had blocked me in and I realized the bullets were not in the guns,” Lee said.
Lee then called her mother who was in Oregon at the time.
“She’s screaming, she’s terrified,” Lee’s mother said after replaying the voice mail Lee left on her phone.
One of Lee’s friends knocked on the door as Lee was cornered and distracted the dog so Lee could escape through a window.
“She could have been mauled. She’d be dead. There’s no way she could fight off a pit bull ,” Lee’s mother said.
According to Lee’s family, the pit bull left bite marks on the hardwood floor where it attacked the shih tzu and destroyed part of a new video game console.
