Andrae Kynard did what he could to help the girl when he saw what was happening.

"I see these dogs attacking this little girl, I was nervous and scared," said Kynard, who drove by when the attack happened.

"She was bleeding pretty bad in a whole bunch of different places, she had big gashes, she was going pretty hysterical," Kynard went on.

In the meantime, the dogs attacked again... and a TPD officer was involved.

"Just as they started to walk up, one of the pits jumped the fence and the officer, it immediately attacked the officer, he got bit but in the process of trying to fend the dog off, he shot the dog twice," said Sgt. Mark Evanoff, of the Toledo Police Department.

Luckily, the victims involved in the dog attack.. are expected to be OK. Toledo police tell say the owner of the pit bulls will be cited.
