Out of concern, a 72-year-old man took his small dog in his arms, the larger male then jumped up on the man and bit him in the forearm. The 58-year-old keeper then tried to pull him away. She came too close to the little dog she was holding and it bit her in the face. Both were taken to the hospital.
