Gruesome video shows the moment two vicious pit bulls mauled a “happy little” Chihuahua on the Upper West Side over the weekend — in what may be the second attack by the aggressive dogs.
Penny, a 16-pound Chihuahua mix and service pooch, now has two 6-inch scars across her slim body after one of the larger dogs ambushed her and chomped down on her at the corner of 86th Street and Columbus Avenue Saturday night, according to the sickening video.
Eventually, the rescue dog’s co-owner, Devon Allen, 40, was able to pry open the pit bull’s mouth with a man’s cane and pull Penny to safety as a bystander put the beast in a chokehold on the ground.

“There was a shocking amount of blood,” Allen, who shares Penny with his 38-year-old ex-girlfriend Lauren Claus, told The Post Tuesday.
“She’s a very small dog, and there was blood everywhere, all over my girlfriend and her pants, all over Penny, certainly on the ground. I can’t even think about what the cuts were like on her, I mean, this, this part of her skin was completely folded back and exposed.”
