DENVER - 9NEWS morning anchor Kyle Dyer had her second surgery on Monday after a dog bit her in the face on live television. The surgery went well, just as the doctor hoped. She has 20 new stitches and she had the 70 stitches from the surgery on the day of the accident, Feb. 8, removed.

What a wonderful surprise. This local Fox station had a professional (not TV) trainer come in and describe the warning signs that the Dogo Argentine gave before he bit the Denver news anchor.
