DOGS ATTACK 85-YEAR OLD WASHINGTON CO. WOMAN

  

A Washington County woman remains hospitalized in Bryan after she was attacked Friday morning by a pack of dogs.

According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the 85-year old victim was feeding her neighbors’ dogs at their home in the 9000 block of Dairy Farm Road, just east of FM-1155, north of Chappell Hill.

According to Chief Deputy Jay Petrash, the woman was feeding the five dogs of different breeds just before 9:00 Friday morning, while the family is on vacation.

Petrash says she apparently slipped and fell and was attacked by the dogs.

A neighbor heard the commotion and rushed to the woman’s aid—shooting one of the dogs which scared off the others.

The victim was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bryan, where she underwent extensive surgery for what Petrash says are severe injuries.

The five dogs have all been quartentined.

The name of the victim and the owners of the dogs have not yet been released.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office continues their investigation.
