While doing some gardening on Sunday 4/17/2011 I was crouched down picking weeds when I was approached by 2 stray Pit Bulls. My back was turned when they first approached me and as I turned to look one of them lunged at me and gave me the biggest lick on the face you can imagine, then they both ran down the road. I was able to catch them, with the help of my wife Debbie, at our neighbors house. They had collars but no tags on so Pam (Our Neighbor), My Wife and I walked around the neighborhood for about an hour looking for their owners. We were about to give up and call Animal Control when we came across a Police Officer who know the dogs from chasing them down before.
