Two Buena Park men are recovering from wounds they suffered after a recent pit bull attack. Larry Zimmerman, 43, was attacked by the pit bull as he walked his own dog in the gated community of College Park. After attacking Zimmerman, the dog then turned on his neighbor James Kim, 59.

Zimmerman and his Siberian husky, Zorro, were out for a walk when two dogs began to nip at the husky. The dogs started attacking him and he climbed onto a nearby car's roof. One of the dogs then tried to pull him off. "I kicked the (expletive) out of that dog. I fought for my life," Zimmerman said.

The dog then ran down the street toward Kim, 59, who was taking an evening stroll with his wife, and attacked them.

Zimmerman spent the night at La Palma Intercommunity Hospital for bites on both of his legs and his left arm. Kim received five stitches in his chest.

"I love dogs and everything," Zimmerman said from his hospital bed on Thursday afternoon. "But you need to have control of your dogs. If you can't control your dog, get rid of it."
