A 9-year-old Bakersfield boy is being called a hero after he saved a girl from a vicious pit bull.

Drew Heredia says he and a friend were walking her small dog Tuesday when, out of nowhere, a pit bull jumped on the dog.

The 12-year-old girl tried to save her little dog and the pit bull turned on her.

Heredia says he jumped on the dog and applied a chokehold that he learned by taking classes at a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu studio in southwest Bakersfield.

He held the dog for 20 minutes until an animal control officer arrived. At first I wanted to kick it, but then I thought, its not a good idea because it could get my leg, said Drew Heredia.

The girl was taken to Mercy Southwest Hospital where she was treated for puncture wounds.

The pit bull is being quarantined at the animal control office, where it will be euthanized after 10 days.

No one has claimed the dog.

The other dog was not hurt. It ran away during the attack, but returned home to the girl Friday afternoon. www.bakersfieldnow.com

  • Can't have been ...

    Can't have been much of a "crazed Pit Bull" if a 9 year old can hold it down for 20 minutes. Another rat in this story is the Chihuahua wasn't even hurt. Now I ask you - what the hell kind of Pit Bull can't even hurt a Chihuhua?! Sounds like another Pit Bull story that wasn't a Pit Bull if you ask me.

  • Scar707face: Got ...

    Scar707face:
    Got that right. They won't show the dog because 9 out of 10 times when media reports a Pit Bull attack, they're really reporting something else and they know it. On one hand media usually say something like "the dog was so powerful and out of control police had to shoot it several times" and in this case we have a 9 year old boy doing what should be seen as the impossible if we are to believe media bs.

  • why dont they show ...

    why dont they show the real dog that did it? because the one i seen show if it did want to take that lil girl down it would have with out a problem and that kid as well there is no way that kid would have taken down a full grown or even a teen pitbull. and most likely that pitbull was changed up in a back of a yard most of his like with out been socialized. some people shouldnt even have this dogs if you do your research they weren't breed to attack people they were known as the nanny dog
