BOWLER, WI (WTAQ) – An 11-year-old girl put herself in harm’s way to save her 2-year-old brother from a pit bull attack.
Shawano County Sheriff’s officials say the dog approached the kids while they were walking down a Bowler street last weekend.
The dog bit the girl, who diverted its attention after it went after her brother.
She was bit four times before witnesses used a baseball bat to fend it off.
The girl was taken to the hospital.
The dog, which was already on quarantine for killing another dog earlier in the week, has been euthanized.
