Horrific Scene Witnessed by Neighbours
Disturbed neighbours reported hearing screams as the terrifying attack unfolded, with some brave residents attempting to intervene before emergency crews arrived.
"It was like something from a nightmare," one shaken witness told reporters. "The dogs just wouldn't stop - it was absolutely horrific to watch."
Emergency Response and Ongoing Investigation
Police and animal control officers secured the area following the attack, with all 10 dogs being taken into custody. Authorities have launched a full investigation into how such a large group of dogs came to be loose together.
"This was an extremely serious incident that could have had even more tragic consequences," a police spokesperson stated. "We're working to establish the full circumstances surrounding this attack."
Community Demands Action on Dangerous Dogs
The shocking attack has reignited debate about dangerous dog controls in the area, with local residents calling for tougher measures to prevent similar incidents.
