A 'horrific' dog attack left an elderly Texas man dead and another in critical condition Friday. The pair were walking on a San Antonio sidewalk when they were 'mauled,' officials said.
Hood said one firefighter was bitten on his leg but is expected to be OK, and another person reported being bitten on the hand.
He said some of the responders are"emotionally probably scarred" from the incident,"because nobody expects to go out and fight dogs in a situation like they did today."Shannon Wade Sims, director of Animal Care Services at City of San Antonio said their department has custody of the dogs and they have started questioning the owners. The dogs are in quarantine.
He added that the dogs had been impounded two years ago for a"mild bite" and there have been other calls alleging neglect on the owners’ part. A third dog that also wasn’t restrained has also been taken into animal custody but Sims said it’s unclear if that dog was involved in the attack.
