Dog Bites News Anchor's Face on Live TV
by Free Britney at .What should have been a feel-good news story soon became anything but when Kyle Dyer, an anchorwoman at NBC's KUSA Denver affiliate, was bitten in the face by a dog that had been rescued by a heroic firefighter from an icy lake a day earlier.
The dog, an Argentine mastiff named Gladiator Maximus, bit Dyer on a live, in-studio segment on Wednesday after Dyer was petting the dog and kneeling down.
Paramedics and animal control were called in, while Dyer was rushed to the hospital for reconstructive surgery overnight. The three-year-old dog was taken to a Denver animal shelter where it is being "quarantined." The viral clip appears below:

She's the dumb dumb' for putting her face in a dogs face! Hello, that poor dog has just been rescued, has no real owner, in a strange environment...its not fair to the animal to now have to suffer because the dumb dumb' did'nt have common since!!!! DumbDumb!
Lets all get one thing straight even though this has NOTHING to do with pits..all dogs can be dangerous, no matter the size or type! Not all pit bulls are bad! If you raise them up right and don't treat them bad then they can be just as loving and caring as any other dog. I have had several pit bulls who never once attacked, bit, or showed any aggression towards me or anyone else because they were raised and treated right. It is the dumbasses who treat them badly and use them to fight that make pit bulls seem like terrible dogs. This lady was an idiot, you don't ever stick your face up to a dog that doesn't know you. And def not up to one who just went through something very traumatic. She is at fault, not the dog.
If I was that dog and someone I didn't know was consistently 'mauling' me I'd bite too. Now the dog will probably suffer because of her stupidity. Sad
That's what you get for sticking your face in a dogs face that doesn't know you, plain and simple....
The fact is, big dogs can be dangerous. Little Chihuahuas also bite but don't cause massive damage.
