High Point of the Morning

Jackie Rosenberg was taking her usual route to work Monday morning, driving south on Corbin Avenue, when the unexpected happened. The Northridge resident said she was listening to Tony Bennett on her tape deck and talking to her daughter on the cell phone when she screamed out in shock as a pack of dogs encircled her car. She stopped, and a black poodle jumped onto the hood and then the car’s roof, trying to escape its attackers. When the pursuing dogs also jumped onto the hood, Rosenberg sounded her horn and scared them away. “I kept thinking they were going to attack me. My body was shaking,” Rosenberg said. “Then, I realized they were after the poodle, and I wanted to save him.” Rosenberg phoned police, who dispatched animal control officers, who took the pooch into protective custody.
