CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Two pit bulls that were roaming through a southeast Charlotte neighborhood viciously killed a poodle in a man's backyard Friday afternoon.

Molly, a poodle-mix, was chained up in a backyard and was mauled to death in the Grier Heights neighborhood. Molly's owner said his cousin shot and killed one of the pit bulls, and Animal Control took the other one away.

Paris Huntley Jr. said his small dog never had a chance.

“All I seen was blood, I couldn’t look at it because I didn’t want that picture of her in my mind, for a long time or the rest of my life,” he said.

Huntley said a few weeks ago a pit bull came into his backyard and took one of his cats. He's not sure if it was one those dogs.
