An intruder got more than he bargained for early yesterday morning when he was mauled by a dog after a Pleasantville father allegedly caught him peeping through his teenage son’s bedroom window.
The intruder was also overpowered and apprehended by the homeowner before being bitten by the family’s three-year-old mixed-breed dog, Spike. Police said the man was treated and discharged from the San Fernando General Hospital last evening. He was not arrested by officers.
In an interview with Guardian Media yesterday at his home on Circular Road, Kirk Pegus credited his pet dog for alerting him that something was amiss. He recalled that around 5 am, Spike began barking and growling in the yard.
