A young girl's life was turned upside down when she was viciously attacked by a pack of 10 dogs while out jogging in California. The terrifying ordeal left her with severe injuries and an even deeper emotional scar.
According to witnesses, the girl was heard screaming for help as the dogs surrounded her. Bystanders rushed to her aid, but the damage had already been done. As she lay bleeding, the child looked up at her rescuers and asked the most heartbreaking question: 'Am I going to die?'
A Community in Shock
The attack has left the local community reeling, with many questioning how such a large group of aggressive dogs was allowed to roam freely. Animal control officials have since seized the animals, but residents are demanding answers.
'This could have been prevented,' said one neighbour. 'These dogs were known to be dangerous. Why weren't they properly secured?'
Recovery and Trauma
The young victim is now recovering in hospital, but the psychological impact of the attack may take much longer to heal. Child psychologists have been brought in to help her cope with the trauma.
Her family has requested privacy during this difficult time but expressed their gratitude to those who came to her rescue. 'We are just thankful she is alive,' her mother said through tears.
Authorities Under Scrutiny
Local authorities are facing intense scrutiny over their handling of previous complaints about the dogs involved. Critics argue that more should have been done to protect the public.
An investigation is now underway, and officials have promised a full review of animal control policies to prevent similar incidents in the future.
