Pit bull attack brings new safeguards?

WATERBURY, Conn. (WTNH) -- An alderman in Waterbury wants tougher ordinances on dangerous dogs after an elderly woman was attacked.

Alderman Ernest Brunelli wants some extra safeguards, like adding a secondary enclosure gate and increase fines.

In March, two pit bulls escaped from their cage in a neighbor's yard and attacked 88-year-old Lena Poidomani in her front yard.

When police arrived they had to shoot the dogs because they were so aggressive.

The dog's owners got infractions and a fine.

The woman is now recovering.
