ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A man suffered critical injuries during an attack by a pit bull in northwest Albuquerque Monday.
The unidentified man was walking the dog when it attacked him. Police said the man was seriously injured in the groin area.
The man appeared to be disoriented and fled the area on foot when police arrived. He was found naked in a nearby park, police said.
The man was transported to the University of New Mexico Hospital.
Albuquerque police and animal control officers canvassed the area Monday night looking for the dog, and some of the man's body parts.
Susie Rayos Marmon Elementary School was locked down following the incident and parents were called to pick up students who usually walk home.
Authorities are advising parents to drive their children to school Tuesday morning because the dog is still loose.

Happened to the owner of the pit, eh? Wonder if he was always telling other people--"He's as gentle as a kitten with my infant son--the only thing to be afraid of is if he licks you to death..."
Looking for missing body parts in Albequerque.

In related news, the owner of damp dynamite expressed amazement that it failed to explode predictably.

For some reason an old WC Fields line keeps going through my head. "I'll have a tube steak and a beer."

Police said the man was seriously injured in the groin area.
Hmmm...that I suppose that man certainly sounds injuured, but I don't know about qualifing him as being "seriously injured".
From the 770 KKOB 24-HR Newsroom:
"SHOCKING DOG ATTACK"
"The search continues in Albuquerque for a Pit Bull with a taste for human flesh.
Police say the dog bit off a man's genitals in a Westside neighborhood Monday afternoon. The man was found naked and bleeding in a park off Iliff Road
Officers say he may have been on drugs. He was hospitalized in very critical condition at UNMH.
The dog made off with the victim's body parts and has not been seen since."
Okay, now see the difference?
THAT is what "seriously injured" should look like!
