NBC news anchor bit in the face by dog during feel-good segment

NBC news anchor Kyle Dyer was bit in the face by an Argentine mastiff during a live TV segment Wednesday.

The dog, Gladiator Maximus, was rescued from an icy lake by Denver firefighters on Tuesday. What was intended to be a feel-good segment reuniting the dog with his owner, Michael Robinson, turned gruesome when Dyer knelt to the floor to get close to the dog and it bit her in the face.

Animal Control and paramedics were called to the scene. Dyer received facial reconstruction surgery in a Denver hospital and is recovering from her injuries. Dyer interacts with animals regularly in her popular segment, "Kyle's Kritters," which showcases animals from the Denver Zoo.

Dog owner Michael Robinson has been cited for a leash law violation, and for not giving Gladiator Maximus the proper vaccinations. The dog is currently quarantined, and should be returned to Robinson after a ten-day evaluation. Robinson is set to appear in court on April 4th.
