No criminal charges will be filed after a Panama City woman was attacked by a pit bull at the veterinary clinic where she worked.

Bay County Sheriff's authorities said two staffers walked into the kennel and saw the dog violently shaking 43-year-old Laura Miller's arm last week. They kicked the dog until it released its grip and they were able to lock the animal back in its cage.

Doctors amputated Miller's arm at the shoulder. She was in stable condition earlier this week.

Karen Collier, owner of Parkway Animal Hospital, told authorities the dog had been staying at the kennel for almost two weeks and was never aggressive.

The Panama City News Herald reports Animal Control took possession of the dog.
