  PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – In the last few days, there have been two dog attacks in our viewing area.Since the weather has been nice and more people are taking their dogs out in public, we spoke with a local dog trainer about how to keep you and your dogs safe.
  Authorities tell us three women were attacked by a dog in Aliquippa on Thursday and another woman was mauled by two dogs in the Homewood North neighborhood on Saturday.
  When the sun is shining, more people and dogs head outside.
