Tillman told 5 On Your Side Troubleshooter Joe Pagonakis that her dog was nearly killed by a 90-pound pit bull that was on the loose in her neighborhood.
According to Akron police, the pit bull was supposed to be watched by neighbor, Cliafous Jenkins, who lives across the street from Tillman's Akron home.
Tillman said her daughter rescued Boss by using chairs to beat the pit bull off of the family shih tzu. Tillman said her little dog will need surgery and continued treatments, that will cost more than $3,000.
