Pit bulls attack elderly woman, ambos

Two pit bull dogs have attacked an 84-year-old woman as she watered her garden then turned on ambulance officers when they arrived to help.

The woman suffered face, hand and leg injuries before she could reach the safety of her Glass House Mountains home and call an ambulance.

When paramedics arrived, the dogs also attacked them.

The paramedics called police who shot dead the older female dog and took the younger male to the council pound.

"They're believed to be pit bulls or a pit bull cross but we are conducting tests to determine their breed," a Sunshine Coast Regional Council spokeswoman told AAP on Friday.

The council is considering prosecuting the dogs' owner, who lives in the same street.

The elderly woman was taken to Caloundra Hospital in a stable condition.

The council is considering prosecuting the dogs' owner, who lives in the same street.

I don't quite get this bit. Why "consider" prosecuting the dogs' owner, I wonder, if the case was as black and white as it has been reported?

I hope the elderly lady is ok. What a shock to her system (not to mention the injury to her body). Poor love.
