A man said a routine walk through his neighborhood with his dog became a fight for his life when another dog, whom he had seen almost being put inside a gate, charged at both of them. Now, he’s planning on taking action.
The incident was all caught on exclusive video shared with 7News.
“Oh, [expletive], no! Get the dog! Get the dog!” a man says in the video as the animal goes on the attack.
Speaking to 7News on Friday, the man, who did not want to be identified, said he replays those moments in his head.
“I got that event in my head all the time,” said the man.

The man who didn’t want to show his face described what happened.
“When I turned around. I see he charged against my dog,” said the man. “I tried to pepper spray the dog, the other dog, but it reached the point where it was empty,” said the man. “I got two leashes, I held it but the dog it was loose, it had plenty room, plenty of space to attack my dog.”
The man continued to yell for help as his dog tried to defend him.
“The dog continued to bite my dog,” said the man.
Eventually, the man ended up on the ground.
“When I get on the ground, he bite me. And I have the marks right here,” said the man.
The struggle continued when the man got back on his feet as he called for help.
People can be seen on the victim’s surveillance footage trying to help and separate the two dogs.
“Grab the dog, grab the dog,” can be heard in the video.
While the man was on the ground, the two dogs were finally separated.
The man then called Sunrise Police to report the incident.
“I never expected that in my life,” said the man.
