WAXHAW, N.C. (The Charlotte Observer) - A woman steering a horse-drawn carriage ride was a hero for trying to fend off a pit bull that repeatedly attacked her horse in a North Carolina park, the owner of the carriage ride company said.
Terrified children on the ride screamed and cried when the dog continually bit the draft horse in its face and legs Saturday in Cane Creek Park in Waxhaw, North Carolina, in Union County, according to a video of the encounter posted on YouTube.
The video shows the horse eventually kicking the dog away with one of its massive hind hooves. The dog stumbles and collapses as a person clutches it on the ground, according to the 3-minute, 18-second video.
