My dog is accused of biting another. Would it have blood on its mouth?

Question

My dog was accused of biting another dog and causing puncture wounds. No one saw it happen, just that my dog (a pit bull) was running around. (She was accidentally let out of the house by one of my kids.) My question is: if a dog bit another dog hard enough to cause puncture wounds, wouldn't it have blood around it's mouth or face?

You won't necessarily see any evidence on the dog that did the biting, puncture wounds can take a few seconds to bleed. But it would be very difficult to prove it was your dog when nobody witnessed it.
