An evening stroll for a Saskatoon man and his three children quickly turned violent, when two Pit bull dogs aggressively approached and attacked them on Wednesday in the Holiday Park neighbourhood.

“They must have came out from behind a car or something because suddenly they were right in front of us. Immediately it was pretty apparent that they weren’t happy to see us,” the man, who wished to have his identity concealed, said.

He said the dogs were growling and seemed agitated. His first thought was to protect his children.

“I was pushing my son’s stroller so immediately I put it behind me and got out in front,” he said.

His son is only one-year-old, and his daughters are eight and 14-years-old.

“One of them got a hold of me pretty good and they were able to drag me onto the ground and knock me over and I fell backwards, I knocked my son’s stroller over and knocked him out of the stroller,” he said.

He said his oldest daughter swooped in to help her brother.
