“Hercules went around and attacked him right behind me. I fell down. I was really surprised because he’s loving and sweet. I never knew he would exhibit that his side,” Humphrey stated.

My 110-pound puppy just sunk his teeth into the man and then bit him again and again said Humphrey.

The man reportedly cursed at her and ran off bleeding and screaming.

“I didn’t have any purse on me. I only had my exercise gear on. I didn’t have anything that would draw me out that made him to attack me like that,” said Humphrey. “I don’t really know what was his intention, but I know it was not good”
