MILWAUKEE - It was like a scene from a movie: four wild dogs, viciously barking and attacking members of our news staff. It happened late Wednesday night just after 11 p.m. outside the east security gate at TODAY'S TMJ4 on E. Capitol Dr. at Humboldt. The round up took almost two hours. Four pit bulls ran to a female custodian, 33, who was waiting outside the gate for a ride, biting her right leg severely. She managed to escape and her ride rushed her to St. Mary's Hospital. Newsradio 620 WTMJ anchor Mike Neil said he saw the dogs outside the gate and tried to keep them around his car, distracted, until the cops could arrive. "i was able to keep them around my van," he said. "I would roll down my window, yell, get them all excited, jumping up. They were salivating on my window trying to get at me!" Meanwhile, another member of our staff, a 57-year-old news operations manager, unaware of what had happened, was outside throwing away newspapers when he heard the dogs barking and walked over toward Neil's encircled car, thinking he could help. The dogs managed to crawl under the security gate and attacked him, too, biting him in five places. "One or two of them grabbed hold (of) my right leg as (I) fled up the mailroom stairs," he wrote in an e-mail. "I couldn't kick the dogs off.. they were almost all the way up to the top of my leg. Finally (I) made it inside the mailroom door, but the last dog wouldn't let go until I closed the door on him." The operations manager immediately ran inside, injured, and grabbed a video camera.

TMJ4 employees even grabbed leftovers in the break room refrigerator to try to distract the dogs. By 1:30 a.m., authorities were able to capture one dog in a snare and taser three others. The cleaning crew member was seriously hurt, and the emergency room doctor said she will need plastic surgery on her leg. She required stitches and sedation. The other man hurt was assisted by an ambulance and will be OK. A 41-year-old police officer was also bitten on the hand. The dogs are now in the custody of Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control. Police are looking for the owners. The boss of our custodian, who had the most serious injuries, says it could have been worse. "I just hope they put the dogs to sleep or something, because that's really dangerous. Those dogs could have killed her," said Cardian Garrett. Animal control says it's clear these are not stray dogs. They are well fed, well groomed, and one had a flea collar. The dogs do not have scars, so they haven't been used for dogfights. "Our guess at this point is that they came from some kind of home environment fairly recently," said John McDowell with Milwaukee Animal Control. So far, the owner hasn't stepped forward. The city says 590 dog bites and attacks were reported in Milwaukee last year. But this attack stands out. "Certainly dog bites are not uncommon, but where you have 4 more dogs go out of their way to attack somebody, that's unusual," McDowell said. Pitbull attacks are more common than attacks by other breeds. But that may be because of their increased popularity. "They're very active, they're very independent animals. Consequently, they need a lot more training," McDowell said. The dogs will be kept at animal control for 10 days and tested for rabies. If no owner comes forward to claim them, they will be put to sleep. The Centers for Disease Control list the 10 breeds of dog most likely to bite as: Pit bulls Rottweilers German shepherds Huskies Alaskan malamutes Doberman pinschers Chows Great Danes Saint Bernards Akitas Milwaukee does have a pit-bull ordinance regulating people who own the dogs. However, the City's Department of Neighborhood Services only enforces the ordinance when someone calls to complain about a specific case. The ordinance says that pit-bull owners should be 16 years old, have a proper kennel with a cement floor, and attend a class about dog training and behavior.
