TEXAS -- A local woman was taken by AirLIFE to University Hospital in San Antonio on Sunday night after she was attacked by her dog.
Around 9 p.m. emergency crews were called to FM 466 near Muehl Road for a dog attack and found more than just a few bite marks, said Guadalupe County Sheriff's Investigator Lt. Kevin Jordan.
"A lady was bit by a Bull Mastiff - it was her pet," Jordan said. "The EMS believed it broke her arm and leg and she had several dog bites.
The 26-year-old pet owner sought help from her husband following the attack, Jordan said.
"The lady was at home, she called her husband and told him the dog attacked her - unprovoked," he said.
Not knowing what caused the dog to assault his wife, the husband attempted to put the dog down and was aided by the responding Sheriff's Deputies, Jordan said.
"The dog was shot by the homeowner and the deputies finished him off," Jordan said. "Animal Control took possession of the dog and will have it tested for rabies."
