FRANKLIN COUNTY – A woman whose horse was attacked by pit bulls last month said she was bitten by one of the same dogs as she took out trash this weekend.

Pia Windwolf, who lives about six miles from Lonedell, said a dog bit her on the arm on Sunday morning. She only saw the dog's back side, but said she is certain it's one of the dogs that attacked her horse, Winter, on Aug. 17.

During that attack, five dogs came into her yard and two of them bit Winter, she said. A pack of dogs had earlier killed her neighbor's miniature horse, and Windwolf had been sleeping in a small barn with another horse to keep watch over them. Winter was outside the barn when he was attacked. Two of his legs were ripped open to the bone.

Windwolf said she has reinforced the fences around her property, but that she was outside the fence when she was bitten on Sunday.

Her arm has a massive bruise as well as a cut that she believes is now infected, she said. As of Tuesday morning, she was trying to schedule a doctor's appointment to get the wound treated, but said she could not afford a visit to the emergency room.

She said Winter's wounds are not infected, but are not healing properly.

"I cannot get near him and I can't doctor him like I want to," Windwolf said. "He's totally changed."

A phone call to the Franklin County Sheriff's Office was not immediately returned on Tuesday morning.
