Louisville, KY.  -- Twenty-six-year-old Amanda Lynch is now at home, recovering from what she calls a vicious dog attack. Lynch says she woke up this New Year’s Day with bandages wrapped around her hand and bicep. Surgeons stitched the inside and outside of her arm. She was in constant pain.

According to Lynch, seconds after she walked in the door of an acquaintance’s house, his pit-bull attacked her. She claims the 3-year-old male pit-bull would not loosen his grip at all, and that it took three men to pull the dog off of her.

Whas11 spoke with the dog’s owner by phone. He told us he is upset about the situation and sorry it happened. He calls his pit-bull friendly, saying the dog has never attacked anyone, and this behavior is uncharacteristic.

Lynch filed a police report on Tuesday and the pit-bull is currently in quarantine at metro animal services. Jackie Gulbe with metro animal services says they will hold the dog in quarantine until the court date. Gulbe also stressed importance of letting guests know before they arrive that you have a dog.

Meanwhile, Amanda lynch is scheduled to return to the hospital early next week for a check-up, and may need to undergo surgery again.
