MINNEAPOLIS — Amy Rice feared for her dog’s life when a pit bull jumped over a fence into her yard and attacked her pooch. So she bit the pit bull on the nose last Friday after trying to pull the dog’s jaws off her Labrador retriever, Ella. The dog had jumped a fence to get into Ms. Rice’s yard, and Ms. Rice feared the pit bull would kill Ella. “I didn’t plan it, that’s what happened. I broke the skin and had pit bull blood in my mouth,” Ms. Rice said. “I knew what happened, and I knew that it wasn’t good.”The pit bull was quarantined Wednesday by Animal Control officers while rabies tests are being completed.
