Summer of the Pit Bull continues: Woman recovering from pit bull attack:
A San Jose woman was recovering from bites to her hands and arms after her 8-month-old pit bull mix attacked her in her home Sunday, police said.
The 36-year-old woman, who was not identified by police, was cleaning up after the dog got sick in the house in the 0-100 block of George Street when the dog attacked her about 6 p.m., according to San Jose Police spokeswoman Gina Tepoorten.
“For some reason, the dog ended up turning on her and attacking her,” Tepoorten said.
Not to be outdone, we get a sequel to the Summer of the Shark: Shark Attacks 2nd Teen Off Fla. Panhandle:
A teenage boy was bitten and critically injured Monday in the second shark attack in three days along the Florida Panhandle.

In 2004, there were only 12 shark attack cases in Florida; from 2000-03 the average was 30. Despite recent declines, the media wants us to believe this is a common occurance to increase their ratings.
