Denver TV anchor released from hospital after dog bite

Kyle Dyer, the 9News anchor bitten in the face by a dog during a live broadcast Wednesday morning, was released from the hospital Thursday, but the station has not said when she will return to work.

On its website, 9News characterized the reconstructive surgery to Dyer's lip at Denver Health Medical Center as "extensive medical treatment,"

"Kyle has a loving family, close friends and great support system to be with her during this time," 9News stated.

Dyer was bitten as she enthusiastically petted the head of an 85-pound Argentine Mastiff named Max during a segment on the morning show. The dog had been rescued from a mostly frozen pond in Lakewood on Tuesday by a West Metro Fire Rescue diver, as a TV news helicopter filmed the drama.
