It was one of those moments when the reporter unwittingly becomes part of the story.

After Levi Leipheimer claimed victory in the Solvang time trial, and nearly assured himself of a third Tour title, we thought we'd get a reaction from his wife and biggeset supporter, Odessa Gunn. Little did we know what might happen.

If you know anything about Odessa, you know that she doesn't go anywhere without her beloved dogs. Today, while she cradled Bandit in her arms, Odessa talked to CycleTo about what Levi's win means to her.

Then, all of a sudden, without provocation, Bandit attacked!

The following video is proof that it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of fight in the dog.
