On March 22, police in Melothian, Texas rushed to Pecan Acres Mobile Park after a family dog attacked a 30-year-old woman and her, two-year-old son. The pit bull mix, which the family had raised since it was a puppy, left both victims with severe injuries. The attack happened inside their home when the dog burst into the toddler's bedroom and went after the child on the bed. The mother stepped in to protect her son, and the dog turned on her instead, biting them repeatedly before she managed to lock it away. Neighbors and first responders were stunned by the bloody scene, with officers describing the pair as covered in blood. The family had no warning signs from the dog, which had always been gentle around kids. Animal control took the dog, which has since been euthanized, and no criminal charges are expected. A police officer even drove the ambulance to the hospital so medics could focus on a little boy.
