VALLEJO -- The Vallejo woman who was mauled by her pit bull on Tuesday claimed she was attacked after she fed her other dog a treat, an animal control official said Friday.

David Sidie, the Benicia Vallejo Humane Society's animal services director, said 21-year-old Rebecca Mantione has agreed to have the unaltered, male pit bull Niko euthanized after the 10-day quarantine expires on Oct. 13.

Mantione suffered bites on her arms and legs when Niko attacked her at her home on Chenin Blanc Place Tuesday morning. She remains in fair condition at the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. The Vallejo Fire Department reported she lost a considerable amount of blood.

Sidie said Mantione told him she fed her smaller dog, a terrier mix, a treat and the dogs began fighting. Mantione said when she intervened, Niko redirected his anger at her and attacked, Sidie said.

Sidie said it was a case of food aggression and there were no previous incidents involving the pit bull.

Vallejo police said 100 marijuana plants were found inside the residence and the results of their investigation will be forwarded to the Solano County district attorney's office for review.
