However, the woman identified as Lynsey Kelly, bravely fought back and managed to lock up the violent canine inside a room. After getting the dog to enter the room, Kelly reportedly latched it from inside before escaping through a window.

Kelly then called for help and got her partner rushed to a hospital. The man reportedly underwent surgery to get his testicles reattached. He needed as many as 32 stitches in his arm and eight in his genital area, the news report added.
