FORT SMITH, Ark. -- Animal control officers were searching for two pit bulls that ripped apart the front of a car with their teeth, KHBS-TV in Fort Smith, Ark., reported.Police said a 911 call led them to a home where they found two pit bulls on the hood of a car early Sunday morning."They turned flashlights on the car. There was one on the car and one on the hood," said resident Ima Jean Vervack.Police chased the dogs and searched nearby neighborhoods.Vervack said it's shocking to look at the front bumper of her car, which was torn apart by the dogs' teeth."The whole front is torn up. The fender is torn off. There was blood where they cut their mouth trying to tear this stuff off," Vervack said.Vervack said police rushed to her home just before 4 a.m. when her daughter called 911."The police -- if they hadn't have seen the dogs, they wouldn't have believed it if we just told them that. So, thank God they saw it," she said.Vervack said the two dogs ran into the neighborhood with police right behind them."He had his gun and my daughter yelled at him and said, 'That dog will attack you. Look what he has done to the car,' and he said, 'No, I'll get him first,'" she said.Vervack said she didn't find an animal under the car that the dogs might have been trying to attack but was trying to figure if they were trying to attack something."I watch a lot of TV, and I saw on there one of the times where they were training the dogs to break into the cars. I thought of that," she said.Police said if residents see these dogs in their neighborhoods that they should not approach them, but should call Animal Control.Police said they don't believe the dogs have rabies, but said they are trying to figure out why the dogs would viciously rip apart a car.
