Lawyer Jumps From BMW, Saves Pregnant Woman from Pit Bulls

Overlawyered brings us this true story, via ABA Journal:

When Paul Geller spotted two pit bulls attacking a pregnant woman walking her small dog in Delray Beach, Fla., this past weekend, he didn't hesitate.

Pulling over to the side of the road, the 39-year-old plaintiffs securities litigator warned his 8-year-old son not to try this himself and then leaped out of his BMW and attacked the two dogs and drove them away, according to the Wall Street Journal law blog.

... An adrenaline rush helped, Geller told the Journal. He said he kicked and barked orders at the most aggressive dog, and both animals ran away. “In the course of litigation, there’s no doubt that you get adrenaline rushes from time to time,” he says, “but nothing like this. ... The woman was on the ground and one of the pit bulls was on top of her. Blood was everywhere.”

Geller then drove both the victim, Stacey Lewis, 31, and her small schnauzer from the scene to seek treatment, reports the Palm Beach Post. Lewis, who weighs 95 pounds, reportedly suffered a facial bite, but is fine, as is her baby. Her dog also survived, but needed 100 stitches.

It's a great tale.

But still, there's a loose end.

And I know you wanna find out. Admit it...

You still want to know if he gave her his business card, don't you?

You're so evil.
