Waukesha Woman Attacked By Pit Bull Still Owns Pit Bulls

Patricia Williams, the owner who was attacked, says she believes pitbulls are not bad dogs if raised properly.

Patricia Williams of Waukesha nearly died in 2011 when her pit bull attacked her but she still wishes her dog was still alive and even kept his mother, reported Patch media partner WISN 12 News.

Despite spending two months in the hospital after the attack, Williams said she believes pit bulls are not bad if they are raised correctly.
