Dog attacks Emily Turner

Imagine this, it's Friday, you're home for the day and sleeping peacefully during your afternoon nap. Suddenly, your friend calls hysterically crying about a dog bite. You're suddenly wide awake, trying to figure out what to do while on the phone. Do you tell her to call police? How bad is the bite? Can you get to the hospital?

Yep, that's the situation I faced last Friday. Emily Turner went out to cover a story about pit bull attacks. Understand this story was probably difficult to cover as she is a pit bull owner and understands fully, that a dog's attitude depends on it's upbringing. Emily is always the one to defend pit bulls when we have reported attacks. So, it was a bit ironic that she ends up getting bit.

She's ok, just a little shaken up. The dog punctured her wrist. She went to the hospital. As for the dog, it's in quarantine for 10 days. Standard procedure when a dog does not have it's papers, I'm told. Want to see it happen? We have video on nbc33tv.com.
