"He was at the front door covered in blood and mud," he said of the larger dog. "You could tell he was in a very intense battle."
King, who plans to major in political science at the University of Miami, said the attack left her dizzy and nauseated for several days.
But she's satisfied that the school was taking steps to protect other students, she said.
