TEXAS CITY — The pit bulls that killed a 10-year-old beagle in its own backyard were “extremely aggressive” and uncontrollable even by their owner, according to a police report describing the attack.
The aggressive behavior was detailed by Animal Control Officer Amy Snider in a report of the scene she and three police officers found at a home in the 2900 block of Ninth Street North after Tiffany Baker called 911 saying two pit bulls were “mauling” her dog.
