Rice says she bit the pit bull on the nose Friday after trying to pull the dog's jaws off her Labrador retriever, Ella. The dog had jumped a fence to get into Rice's northeast Minneapolis yard, and Rice says she feared the pit bull would kill Ella.
Rice says she drew blood when she bit the dog, and her doctor will have to determine whether she should get shots for rabies.
The pit bull was quarantined. Ella is recovering with staples and stitches to her head and a crushed ear canal.
