An investigation is underway after a dog attacked in Dallas's Oak Cliff area left a teacher and their emotional support dog injured.
For nearly three weeks, Stephanie Goolsby and the family dog, Prancer, have not strayed far from home, staying nestled in the security of their yard after she said they were attacked while out on a walk.On the morning of March 12, Goolsby and Prancer were just a couple of blocks from home in north Oak Cliff along Cedar Hill Avenue.
“I put my arms around him. The dog just kept biting me, trying to get to his neck, and Prancer was screaming, and the dog was clamped on his head and just shaking it. I knew if I let go that he was going to kill the dog,” said Goolsby.Goolsby said she held tight as the dog dragged them both. Photos from the hospital later show some of the bruises, cuts, and road rash she sustained before several good Samaritans helped pull the dog off.
They were severe injuries, not just for a family pet, but an emotional support animal for Goolsby’s son Tyler, who was diagnosed with autism.
