Jason Connerley helped to rescue Craig Randleman from attacking dogs, Spokane, Washington, April 3, 2014. While helping to rescue a young girl from two attacking dogs near his home, Randleman, 50, was mauled by one of the dogs, a 50-pound pit bull. He fought the dog off and, running away, climbed over a chain-link fence to a neighbor’s backyard, where he went to the ground, nearly exhausted. The dog followed, and as it tried to scale the fence, another man from the neighborhood, Connerley, 28, nutrition services employee, responded with a shovel. Connerley struck the dog repeatedly but was bitten by it and the other dog. Both dogs fled the scene. Randleman required hospital treatment, including sutures, for numerous lacerations, puncture wounds, and tears, to his face and both arms. Connerley sustained puncture wounds to his left leg and right hand. Both men recovered.
