Dogs are perceived as friendly and man's best friend but an incident in Anaheim recently shook everyone after a video showed that a little protection is needed when dealing with dogs. Obviously, stray dogs aren't loyal as those dogs who are kept as pets.
A recent scene shocked everyone when two dogs attacked a toddler and her mother. The surveillance cameras at the home of the attacked captured the incident. The video clearly depicted how the two-year-old Grayson came out of his house followed by his mother in the front yard.
According to the Daily Mail, it can be seen that the dogs approach Grayson in a friendly manner but later start viciously attacking and biting him. The mother came to rescue his child but was also attacked by the dogs while they were struggling to bite the young boy.
Spenser Bishop, the boy's father said that the incident was very "frightening" and was "surreal and felt like a bad movie." Bishop further specified that the dogs got into the home through the open gate of the neighbors.
The camera footage, released by NBC4 News, further showed that following the incident, their neighbor Leslie Arias, who is 17 years old, also came to help the kid using a stick. Leslie said that she was in her room when she heard loud screams for help. She looked out of her window and saw Grayson and his mother attacked by the dogs. She rushed, holding a metal stick, to help them out.
She said that she stopped a sanitation worker and asked him for help. Another neighbor came to the rescue, who held one dog. She also called 911 and police. An ambulance arrived later on the scene to help the victims for any medical assistance.
Bishop did register his complaint and case to the Anaheim Police Department, the responsibility of the investigation was handed over to Orange County Animal Care, on Thursday. It remained unclear whether or not the victims will file a lawsuit, as said by the family's lawyer, Richard Patterson.
