Dog Attacks 7-Year-Old Boy, Woman, Animal's Photo With Bloody Mouth Surfaces

A seven-year-old boy and 34-year-old woman were viciously attacked by a dog in Surrey, Canada, on Wednesday. The two victims were rushed to the hospital following the incident.

Local media reported that the dog attacked the two people near King George Boulevard and 60 Ave. After the incident was reported, officers arrived at the scene and took control of the animal, Sgt. Chad Greig told Daily Hive.

A video was posted on social media showing blood on the sidewalk where the attack occurred. A large-breed dog with hands and mouth covered in blood could be seen in the back of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police cruiser. The video, however, did not capture the attack.

Authorities said the victims were treated at the hospital for their injuries and were recovering. While the breed of the dog was not known, it looked like a pit bull mix.

Animal Control officers from the city of Surrey took control of the animal. The city’s bylaw department and animal control will conduct an investigation. It is unclear at this time what will happen to the dog involved in the attack.

Animal Control officials, who were working to figure out who owns the dog, were unaware if the dog has a history with prior attacks.

In a recent incident in the U.S., a pit bull attacked a 17-year-old girl in Jacksonville, Florida. The teenager suffered a cardiac event and remained in intensive care at Wolfson Children’s Hospital following the attack, the girl's mother claimed. The incident took place outside Diamond Jones' apartment complex in Arlington. The mother told media the girl was walking with a friend when the dog, running loose in the area, attacked her.

The "pit bull attacked my daughter and she has a nice little gash in her foot. They called me and her friend told me she had just got bitten by the pit bull,” Diamond's mother, Shalene Jones, told News4Jax.

Large breed dogs, including pit bulls, are aggressive and are involved in several unprovoked attacks, some of which turn fatal.
