California Woman on Walking Trail Attacked by Wild Dogs, Suffers More than 150 Wounds
Dori Reyes suffered 150 to 200 wounds and spent five days in the hospital after neighbors helped pull her from the embankment.
On April 23, Dorrie Reyes was attacked by a pack of stray dogs while walking near the 800 block of Carrie Street in Stockton, sustaining significant injuries requiring hospitalization.
The routine walk turned violent when about 7 dogs surrounded Reyes, dragging her down the levee embankment as she attempted to defend herself with her bag and called for help.
Rhenell Schiller reported her mother suffered between 150 and 200 lacerations and puncture wounds across her body, requiring a six-hour surgery after five days in the hospital.
Officers have captured two of the dogs involved in the attack, though Stockton police continue searching for approximately five to six more animals while urging the public to report sightings to Animal Services.
Vice Mayor Jason Lee stated pet overpopulation is a community issue, noting the city is expanding spay and neuter services with partners like San Francisco SPCA and Animal Balance to address safety concerns.
