Another vicious pit bull attack
Three men wearing ski masks burst through the back door and into the kitchen. The first man drew a gun and ordered Travis Rappold, 21, his girlfriend Amanda Searle, 18, and their three friends to lie down.
Enter Rock, Rappold’s 75-pound pit bull. The dog jumped up from his seat at his master’s feet and ran out from under the table toward the armed assailant.
“They yelled ‘get that pit’ and I yelled ‘get him, Rock,'” said Rappold, recalling last Sunday’s incident at his apartment on Rossmore Road in South Richmond.
Backpedaling, the gunman fired once, striking the dog in the chest. Rock kept going.
The intruders fled through the back door and scattered.
Rappold shut the door before Rock could keep chasing the three men.
Sadly, Rock died from his wounds.
