A Texas marathon runner was attacked by a pit bull mix while training, according to a report.
Caitlin Keen, an avid runner, said she was running along Fort Worth’s Trinity Trails, NBC Dallas reported.
“The dog came running right at me and jumped up right on me and pulled me down to the ground,” she said. “I was just terrified. I really thought it was going to try to kill me.”
“Before I knew it, the dog had jumped up on me, grabbed my arm, pulled me to the ground,” elaborated Keen to CBS Dallas. “I got up and tried to sprint away. It’s a lot faster than I was, unfortunately. (It) grabbed me by the back, pulled me back down. I got up and we had a little bit of a face off. I kicked it with what I could.”
If not for two bystanders, she could have died, she told the news outlet. A woman threw rocks at the dog.
“I could not have gotten away on my own,” Keen told the NBC affiliate.
