dog bite

Veteran TV anchor Kyle Dyer in Denver, Colorado, was rushed to the hospital after a dog that recently survived a harrowing rescue bit her in the face during a live TV segment.

86-pound Argentine Mastiff named Max sunk his teeth into Kyle Dyer’s face when she bent down to pet him Wednesday during the morning show segment on KUSA-TV.

KUSA-TV’s news chopper captured video footage of a firefighter rescuing Max from a freezing pond Monday after he fell through the ice and couldn’t make it out.

Now, Max has been caged by animal control officers and his owner, Michael Robinson, has been fined.

KUSA-TV says Kyle Dyer is in fair condition, recovering from the bite at Denver hospital.

A trauma team is evaluating the injuries to her face.

Michael Robinson says he was walking Max Monday when he saw a coyote and ran off after it.

Authorities say Max spend 20 minutes swimming in the pond before a firefighter in a dry suit dove into the frigid waters and pulled him to safety.

KUSA- TV station aired the harrowing rescue and invited the firefighter, Michael Robinson and Max into their studios Wednesday morning for a reunion.

That’s when Max attacked Kyle Dyer.

The station says the attack was not broadcast, but it later released a short clip of the bite.

Denver Animal Control Director Doug Kelley told CBS4 Denver Kyle Dyer’s injury was “a pretty major bite”.

Max, who did not have proper rabies vaccinations, will be quarantined 10 days to ensure he is healthy.

Michael Robinson was cited for a dog bite violation, having the dog off his leash and not having proper vaccinations.
