SEATTLE - A Seattle man put his life on the line to save a stranger from a vicious pit bull attack.
Katelynn Doolittle was jogging near Lake Washington when a pit bull got away from its owner and attacked her. She was bitten five times.
Matt Loyd saw what happened and ran to help her. He blocked the dog so she could get away, getting bitten in the process.
Katelynn says she's sure she would have been seriously hurt if it wasn't for Loyd.
"I just freaked out cause like there was no stopping this dog," she said. "There was no control over this dog and I probably would have been torn to shreds if Matt hadn't come up."
"I just remember she was in a lot of trouble and I tried to help out as much as possible," said Loyd.
It's not known if the owner of the dog will face charges or if the dog will be put down.
