Neighbors say the dogs got out twice. According to neighbors, the first incident was in July, involving a teenager.
The second incident on August 10 involved a jogger and it was caught on camera.
In video, you can see the woman appearing to do nothing to antagonize the dogs, who were loose in a yard, as she jogs by. Suddenly, the two run and lunge at her.

Suffolk police say that officers responded to Blossom Street on Monday, Aug. 10 after a 911 call just before 10 a.m. reported that two people had been bitten by dogs.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a married couple, a 63-year-old woman and 65-year-old man, with several bite marks on their bodies.
Authorities say they had been attacked by two pit bulls that escaped from a residence on Penn Drive.
Both victims were transported to Huntington Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Police say the Dog Warden was notified and responded to the scene.
Residents tell News 12 the two dogs remain at the home and they want something done before something else happens.
