HOUSTON — A firefighter and two women were hospitalized after they were attacked by two dogs.
The firefighter suffered minor injuries when trying to help the two women who were being attacked, according to KHOU.
The women were walking to their cars Thursday morning when the attack occurred.
A 62-year-old teacher will require several surgeries while the other woman was bitten down to the bone.
Sonny Pena, the owner of the chocolate Labrador and boxer, said the dogs likely crawled under a fence and escaped and may have been scared and attacked. He said the dogs are “inside dogs” and aren’t typically aggressive.
Police said the dogs were so aggressive that they tried shooting them before they ran back to Pena’s home.
The dogs also went after a third woman but she was able to escape.
The dogs are now in quarantine for 10 days. One victim is likely to sue for damages.
