Dog invades home through cat door

There are questions going through my brain that just doesn't make sence with this story in The Sault Star.

First of all, what is a Pit bull type dog?

Secondy, how does a dog the size of a Pit bull breed manage to fit through a cat door? I used one many years ago so the cats could eat in peace, plus it had a large area for the litter boxes in there too. We had a pup and even the pup was too large to fit through it. Purhaps a minature poodle or a small breed dog could fit, but certainly not anything larger.

What about the drunken man carrying a leash? Was he not interviewed?

It goes on to say how badly the cat was hurt, but kennel costs for keeping the cat overnight, plus the examination costs alone are sizable. The cat was released the next day. Was this then an exaggeration by the reporter?

The mother got bit on the hand. If she put her hand out to stop the chase, I wouldn't doubt that she did get bit or if she tried to grab the dog.

The little girl had minor scratches. Was she scratched by the dog or the cat as I'm sure she paniced and tried to save her cat, but that's just my own theory. I couldn't image her running after a strange dog, nor would her mother allow it, you wouldn't think.

Taking all this into consideration, does any of this make sense to you either?

Dog invades home through cat door
OWEN SOUND, Ont. (CP)

A dog that sneaked into a home through a cat door bit a woman on the hand and attacked the family's pet feline before it was eventually forced into a bathroom and locked inside.

The incident occurred when a mother and her adult daughter were asleep at their home in Rockford, Ont., just south of Owen Sound.

The pit bull-type dog inflicted minor injuries on the daughter, while the cat was more seriously hurt, Ontario Provincial Police Const. Steve Starr said Monday.

"The cat had to be kept overnight at the vet's office, and apparently the bill for its care is quite sizable,'' Starr said.

After the women managed to lock the dog inside the bathroom, they called police. "That's where it was when the officers arrived on scene,'' Starr said.

Police later came across a severely intoxicated man carrying a leash near the home, but there was no word on whether any charges would be laid. Starr said there has been an odd run of animal occurrences in the area in the last two weeks.

"First we had a llama escape; it still hasn't been found,'' he said. "Then we had someone steal a bunch of show rabbits. Now this.''
