9NEWS anchor injured from dog bite during morning show

DENVER - Anchor Kyle Dyer was bitten by a dog on 9NEWS on Wednesday morning.

Kyle was interviewing Max, an 85-pound Argentine Mastiff, his owner, and a firefighter, who rescued Max from an icy pond on Tuesday, when she was bitten in the face.

Firefighters, paramedics and animal control were immediately called to the station.

Kyle was taken to Denver Health Medical Center. The hospital says Kyle, "is currently in fair condition and is being evaluated by the trauma team. She is awake and visiting with family who asked that we thank the community for their immediate outpouring of support."

Yikes.

Careful who your show books for a guest spot, LoKy.

That'll teach her not to stick her mug into the face of a dog that doesn't know her.

So the owner is being charged for this? GMAFB.

Sounds like we share a common philosphy.

The fuck was she thinking?

"Ohhh, I'll just derp my face right in front of this dog and see what happens, derp."

She deserved it.

I like how the article makes it sound like she was actually interviewing the dog. That would be a pretty one-sided conversation.

Very stupid. It is interesting how the two guys have no reaction to the incident.

We have an adopt-a-pet segment on our Noon News everyday and our Anchors do this ALL the time... I keep waiting for the day one gets bit on air. I had an Anchor take a paw to the face from a puppy a few years ago and the dog drew blood on the Anchors nose... he missed the rest of the show but is still one of the funniest things I've seen. We also had a cat go ape shit on its handler one time and claw the shit out of his arm, they had to take him to the ER but unfortunately it was not live on air.

The video is gone now. Probably so no one can see what a moron the reporter was. From the written description on the link, she grabbed the dog's face and leaned down like she was going to kiss it. Just stupidity all around. This wasn't a show dog or an animal trained for performance--it was a house pet that had recently been traumatized by almost drowning/freezing to death. If it was just some stranger's pet they were walking in the park, would you grab the dog's face (especially a dog weighing as much as a 10-year-old kid) and put your face near it?

The owner probably shouldn't have taken the dog onto the show, but he surely did not expect his dog to be groped on air by the newswoman. So, now it's in the doggie slammer for 10 days. If they find something wrong with the dog while it's in custody, it could end up being put down, plus the owner has now been charged and will have fines, probably boarding costs, etc. to pay.

Not wasting any sympathy for the stupid humans involved in this.

The dog pulls away from her just a few seconds before biting her. A person with common sense would have taken that as a sign to leave the dog alone, not an invitation to get up in the dogs face with her own.
