CHERRY HILL, New Jersey -- A Cherry Hill, New Jersey man and his roommate's dog are recovering after being attacked by a pit bull-type dog last Wednesday.
Cheddar lives with his owner Nick Denny and Brett Spaulding. Both men are in the United States Air Force."I had him on a leash out there in the field, trying to burn out his puppy energy," said Brett. "She had a dog in the backseat had rolled the window down and said, 'Watchout I have a killer back here,'" recalled Brett."I tried to pull Cheddar up by his leash and catch him by his collar with my left hand. That's when the pit bull jumped and grabbed Cheddar's hind leg and swung us down to the street," said Brett.Luckily, a neighbor intervened and pepper-sprayed the attacking dog, likely saving Cheddar's life.
