Some friendly advice

This story isn't from around here, but when the sign says "Be ware of dog," be ware of the dog, okay?

YORK, Pa. (AP) - When pundits complain about "pit bull politics," this isn't what they mean.

Mary Caldwell, who is running for Lower Windsor Township supervisor, said she had knocked on the back screen door of a home Saturday evening when a pit bull escaped and attacked her.

"The dog went right for my leg," Caldwell said. "I just started screaming at the top of my lungs."

The dog shook her back and forth "like a rag doll" and tore a big hole in her right leg, she said.

A man who was helping Caldwell campaign came to her aid and was also bitten. Both were treated at a hospital.
