A woman from Little Rock, Arkansas, was recently bit more than 25 times by a pair of pit bulls. Twenty-two-year-old Brenie Jordan had to be hospitalized after the dogs charged at her while she was walking down an alley, CBS affiliate KTHV reports.Police say that Jordan was walking past a local residence when she saw the two dogs in an unfenced area. Investigators say Jordan had to be taken to a local hospital and remained there for at least six days, projecting that the recovery process could be a lengthy one.
"I had to have plastic surgery done on my foot," Jordan told the news source. "They cut down to the tissue. I have a lot of bite marks all the way up to my knees."
According to a recent study conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the number of hospitalizations for dog attacks rose significantly between 1993 and 2008. Those looking to prevent becoming a victim may want to buy pepper spray as an animal repellent. When sprayed into a dog's face, the device will make it difficult for them to see and breathe.
