A woman is now fighting to ban pit bulls from Tulsa after two of them mauled her mother. The 85-year-old victim was walking her dog outside Oklahoma Methodist Manor in midtown when the dogs charged at her. The victim was walking less than 100 feet from her home when the dogs came out of nowhere and attacked her.

Those dogs are now at the Tulsa animal shelter. And, if an owner doesn't come forward, they will be euthanized.

Sara Bailey has spent countless hours consoling her mother. 85-year-old Emma Ragsdale was out walking her little dog, Max on New Year's Day, when two pit bulls attacked her.

"When I saw them running to me, I grabbed my little dog and held him in my arms," Emma says.

Biting her arm, the dogs pulled Emma down to the ground and ran off with Max.

"They pulled him onto the grass and he wasn't hollering anymore," she says.

"We're sad for her just to have endured it," Sara says. "We will miss our puppy badly, but it's just I don't want to her to live with this all her life."

Now, Sara is fighting back. Right now, the law says if someone harbors a vicious dog, that owner could get a 12-hundred dollar fine and up to six months in prison. Sara wants Tulsa to have stricter penalties. But, first and foremost, she and her mother want pit bulls banned from Tulsa.

"If it can happen to my mom in this safe part of the city, it can happen to anybody," Bailey says. "At a school, a child on the playground, it can happen in your own back yard."

"It's just a horrible nightmare. You just keep playing it through your mind and you try the best you can to get it out of your mind."

The animal shelter says last year, there were nearly three hundred dog bites in Tulsa. Just over one hundred of them came from pit bull dogs.

The state law says a city cannot ban a particular breed of dog. That was put into place in 1991. Eufaula had a ban on pit bull dogs in the 1980s, but it was nullified after the state law was passed.
