A published report claims that a group of 10 poodles attacked an elderly corgi while she was walking down a California beach.
Kathrin Burleson, a friend, and Emma, her corgi, were walking on Trinidad State Beach Oct. 29 when a bunch of standard poodles leapt out of a nearby vehicle and started sprinting towards them. According to the Mad River Union newspaper.
According to the newspaper, Burleson attempted to grab Emma from 50 feet away when she saw the dogs. The corgi, who was afraid, managed to wiggle her way out from her harness and was eventually knocked over and killed by the dogs.
“Then they jumped us,”Burleson spoke to the paper. “We were at the bottom of a pack of 10 snarling, biting dogs.”
“I thought Emma and I were going to be killed,”She said.
Burleson explained to Mad River Union, Emma is 13 years-old and is a service pet that works in a local hospital.
According to the outlet, the woman said she tried her best to protect Emma and fight the dogs. According to the outlet, Emma was finally pulled out by an unidentified woman.
“She became an angel at that moment,”Burleson stated. “It was a miracle. As she lifted Emma up, the dogs were jumping and tearing at her flesh and fur.”
After the dog fight — first reported on the Nextdoor social media website by local resident Ted Pease — was broken up, Emma was rushed to an animal clinic, According to The New York Post.
According to the outlet she is currently recovering from severe wounds.
“The lacerations and puncture wounds from the poodles’ attack are extensive and deep. Emma is still fighting for her life, and not out of the woods yet. This is a warning to those who see a car crammed with fuzzy poodle faces,”According to the Post, Pease wrote about Nextdoor.
