DOG BITE LAWYER – GIRL ATTACKED BY DOG
An 8-year-old girl attacked and bitten by a dog is recovering from injuries. Authorities said the dog attack happened at the Oakwood Village Mobile Homes. The young girl was transported to the hospital this past weekend, where she is listed in fair condition. “This little girl got attacked by a dog,” a 911 caller said. “She’s covered in blood.” Fortunately, the 911 caller said her fiance was able to grab the dog off the girl and hold it until the owner was able to control it. The caller tended to the girl’s wounds until medics arrived.

SCAR AND SURGERY FOR DOG BITE ATTACK ON GIRL
It’s still unclear what triggered the dog attack. However, the County Animal Resource Center took custody of the dog after its owners released ownership. “The owners right away said that they wanted to release the dog to us,” Sexton said. “They’ve completely signed the dog over to us.” If the owners had not released the dog to the Animal Resource Center, it would have been deemed a vicious or dangerous dog.
Witnesses said the dog appeared to be around 70 pounds and dragged the girl to the ground. The dog began to repeatedly bite the girl, witnesses said. Sexton said the dog, a 2-year-old pit bull, will be quarantined for 10 days to make sure it doesn’t have rabies. After that, it will be euthanized.
The girl will most likely need significant medical care because of this incident. Our lawyers have had many cases with permanent scarring from a dog bite, even after plastic surgery.
