attacked another dog being walked in the area -- nearly killing the innocent animal ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ spoke with a rep from Animal Control in Austin, TX -- who confirms cops were dispatched to the scene after Jesse's dog -- not Cinnabun -- went after a corgi named Buckley and chomped down on his neck.

NY Congressman Anthony Weiner just confessed ... he IS the owner of the penis in the infamous underwear pic and accidentally posted it on Twitter while trying to send it to another woman -- and he WON'T be resigning.

Weiner addressed the media in Manhattan this afternoon to take responsibility for the picture -- telling reporters, "The picture was of me, and I sent it" ... and he planned to send it to another woman.

The congressman says he will not resign from office because of the scandal -- and plans to return to his work following the conference.

As for his explanation, Weiner says he accidentally posted the pic to his Twitter account last month -- panicked when he realized what he did ... and falsely claimed he had been hacked.

"At the end of the day ... I lied because I was embarrassed."

Weiner adds, "I take full responsibility for my actions ... I have made terrible mistakes. I have not been honest with myself, my family , and my constituents."

According to Weiner, he engaged in several "inappropriate conversations" online -- and exchanged sexually explicit photos with "at least six women."

Weiner adds, "I have never met with these women, nor have had physical relationships at any time."

Weiner says he and his wife don't have plans to split over the controversy.

Congressman Pic Raises Questions About Hacking

Published | Updated

A new pic -- apparently showing the naked torso of Congressman Anthony Weiner -- has now surfaced, and it's looking like his claim that his Twitter account was hacked may be bogus.

This pic -- obtained by BigGovernment.com -- was allegedly sent on May 20 of this year to a woman from Weiner's Yahoo email address.

According to BigGov, Weiner apparently used the account to store many other personal photos of himself -- thus suggesting the shirtless photo is him.

Weinergate exploded last month after a Twitter pic was leaked, showing a man with a bulge in his underwear. Weiner has hedged, saying he can't say for sure it's him, but claims he never sent the pic to anyone and his account was hacked.
