We’ve heard a lot about dangerous dogs attacking people lately, but one woman in the States turned the canine tables when she sank her teeth into her own pet dog.

A teen in the States was arrested on animal cruelty after she bit the family pet three times in the back. It all happened after a drunken fight broke out between the teenager and her mother.

According to police, 19-year-old Analise Garner sank her teeth into the family’s 80-pound English bulldog three times and all three marks were clearly visible through the dogs white fur.

Neighbours called the cops after hearing loud banging and screaming coming from the home in Illinois. During the fight, Analise bit her mother on the hand and scratched at her face before turning her attention to the poor dog.

Sergeant Mike Smith of the Illinois police department said, “The bulldog finally did bite her back in self-defence.

Then, in that typical smug policeman styled humour, he added, “There were no charges brought against the dog”.

The drunken teen was eventually brought to hospital for treatment to her bite, but she was further arrested for underage drinking.

“Woman bites dog.” Well, you don’t hear that everyday.
