Woman says angry pit bulls trapped her in home for 18 hours

A Georgia woman says she was trapped in her home for more than 18 hours after two pit bulls chased her into her home and wouldn't leave.

"All of a sudden, two blue-nosed pits come charging after me. I ran and tripped and ran into the house," said Vicky Martinez of Clayton County.

According to WSB-TV, Martinez said she then ran to her backyard to grab her two Chihuahuas and that's when she started recording video on her cellphone.

The video shows the pit bulls frantically biting the metal fence and slowly slipping underneath.

Martinez said she quickly backed away as the dogs maneuvered their way under the fence.

"I took off running onto the porch, done threw my Chihuahuas in the inside. I was terrified about it because I did have pit bulls. It's the reaction of them. I have had a pit bull attack this one and they were raised together," Martinez said as she held her two Chihuahuas.

Martinez said she was stranded in her house for nearly a day. "For about 18 hours," Martinez said.

When officers arrived, they couldn't catch the dogs running from the backyard to the front yard.

"You could hear a growl. The cop told me, 'Jump on (my) car,' and I said, 'Oh (expletive),' and I run into the house and slid into the house," Martinez said.

Channel 2's Craig Lucie tracked down the owners of the dogs a block away.

"They jumped the fence. The dogs didn't do nothing. They was just playing," Alejandro Mendoza said.
