Teghan Hert, 10, from Omaha, Nebraska jumped on a pitbull and was beating it when her mother and a neighbor restrained her.   The pitbull was, the girl believed, attacking her 4 pound Chihuahua while she had it out for a walk.

The girl's father said, "Even myself, as an adult, would not reach into the middle of that. I don't think she thought anything. I think she wanted to save her puppy's life."

It's a good thing the girl's mother was around to pull the girl off the dog.
