Boy bites dog - and it's a true story

Eleven-year-old Gabriel Almeida is in Brazil's media spotlight after sinking his teeth into the neck of a pit bull dog that attacked him. Papers in the city of Belo Horizonte report that he was playing when the dog bit his left arm. So Almeida grabbed the dog by the neck and bit back so hard that he lost a tooth. The boy later received four stitches while the dog was taken to a pound and may be destroyed. (Via Seattle P-I/AP)
