Md. Mom, 2 Daughters Hospitalized After Dog Attack

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) ―

Montgomery County police say a Gaithersburg woman and her two teenage daughters were hospitalized after the family's dog attacked them in their home.

Police spokeswoman Lucille Baur says the 35-year-old mother stabbed the pit bull with a kitchen knife after it bit her 15-year-old and 19-year-old daughters. The family told police the dog had been acting erratically for the past week.

The family members were taken to a hospital with wounds that did not appear to be life threatening. The Animal Services Division took the dog to a veterinarian for treatment and observation.
