        A Bronx dog owner faces multiple animal cruelty-related charges after allegedly biting her own dog.
        A witness said they saw 24-year-old Jillian Teixeira biting the head of her pit bull and forcefully grabbing the dog's ears on E. 86th Street in Manhattan.
        The witness said they observed the dog yelp and screech loudly.
        When the police arrived, they said the dog was bleeding and that Teixeira admitted to biting the dog.
        She is due back in court on Aug. 30.
