Share
Kyle Dyer, a news anchor for 9News, an NBC affiliated Denver television station, was bitten by an Argentine mastiff dog on live TV Wednesday. Gladiator Maximus, or Max, is an 85-pound Argentine mastiff that was on the news show after being rescued from a lake that Tuesday. On Wednesday, Kyle Dyer underwent reconstructive surgery for injuries to her lip.

NY Daily News reported that the dog had fallen in a frigid lake in Lakewood while chasing a coyote. Kyle Dyer was interviewing the dog’s owner, Michael Robinson, and the firefighter, Tyler Sugaski, who rescued Max, and Robinson, who had gone into the icy waters as well.

The news anchor was petting the dog during the interview, and was bitten on the face in the live segment. The news station is not rebroadcasting Kyle Dyer’s attack, but videos have been posted online showing the dog attacking the anchor.

Max the dog is currently impounded for 10 days. According to the Denver Post, during those 10 days Denver Animal Care and Control will look for signs of illness, including rabies. Max may be released to his owner after those 10 days. A judge will hold a hearing to decide the dog’s fate.

Robinson is currently facing a couple citations by the Denver Environmental Health department. Michael Robinson’s citations include failure to have a leash on a dog, allowing a dog to bite, and failure to have a vaccinated dog.

Dyer has been with 9News for 15 years. Vice President of 9News, Patti Dennis said during the stations 4 p.m. news that “Kyle is doing good. She just got out of surgery about 2 o’clock this afternoon. She had reconstructive surgery on her lip–she’s doing well, and will make a recovery, and we’re all thinking about her and her family.”

The Denver Post said that a media release by Denver Health Medical Center listed Kyle Dyer as in fair condition, and visiting with family.

Dennis said that Kyle Dyer will make a return to the news station. “Kyle will go through a recovery and be back in a period of weeks–probably several, but she will be back,” said Dennis.

It's NEVER the dog. It's the dog OWNER that can be unstable. Dogs, just like kids do what they're taught. If the owner isn't the pack leader anything can happen and it's NOT the dog's fault. A dog will only be as aggressive as the owner has not trained or trained it to be, with intent or not. And, people NEVER approach a dog you don't know let alone grab its face!

Okay kids, time to learn a big lesson. If ya grab a dog's head you've never met and give it a big kiss consider that an automatic 911 call.

OMG, lets just hope that people learn something from this. Tell your friends with and w/o dogs, all animal lovers, and most importantly teach your kids that when they see a dog they don't know; 1. don't touch it, 2. don't talk to it, 3. no direct eye contact w/it as that can be interpreted as aggression.
If you're nervous take a deep breath and if with another person have a conversation about something else or if alone think of something that makes you happy and just keep walking.
If you still don't get it just watch the Dog Whisperer and learn as much as you can about interacting w/dogs.

Silly thing for the reporter to do but the dog shouldn't have even been on the set either. That breed of dog is dangerous no matter how it is raised.

Seen this situation happen all too often. You should never put your face in the face of a dog and especially never smile and show your teeth. When you smile and show your teeth the dog thinks you are about to attack Happened to a friend of mine too.

This dog was showing every possible signal of being under stress. Licking it's lips, averting it's gaze. The fault lies in the actions of the reporter. Even in a non-stressful situation a dog might react like that to a stranger being in it's face, patting it's head, and staring right into its eyes. These actions are all considered to be threatening from a dogs point of view.

The dog was not aggressive. But this breed is known to have issues with mental stability. Going from being a stable working dog to being a gangsta dog have attracted breeder just wanting a bad, mean looking dog.

Would you like any person to get in your face like that? Why do people think dogs would like it?
