The man is now recovering at home and is sharing the terrifying ordeal.
For Evan Motolong, it was a regular evening run with his dog Indie when two pit bulls suddenly charged at him as he tried to protect his dog.
“We went by, he was going this, we were going this way,” Motolong said. “I just remember it happened just like that, like the two dogs just rushed after her.”
