BEVERLY GROVE (CBSLA) – A man is distraught after his beloved Yorkshire Terrier, Dexter, was attacked by a Pit Bull that jumped out from a homeless encampment on the sidewalk and bit him several times.

It happened Tuesday morning at Wilshire Blvd in the Miracle Mile. Dexter’s owner, who only wanted to go by Freddy, said the small dog has bite wounds all over his body.

“I’m just praying that this traumatic experience he’ll get over,” said Freddy. “But I’m not sure.”
