Long Beach authorities are searching for a dog that attacked a woman while she was on a morning walk near the Los Angeles River, according to police.
It happened at around 1:40 p.m. as the woman was walking near the river and Anaheim Street, Long Beach Police Department officers told CBS LA. They said that the woman was attacked by what she described as a pit bull, otherwise known as a Staffordshire Terrier.
