Police are praising a brave man who intervened and saved a woman being viciously attacked by four dogs Sunday morning.
The 54-year-old woman was walking her dog in an alley in the central Edmonton neighbourhood of Spruce Avenue, when she was surrounded by a pack of several medium to large-sized dogs.
She was seriously injured and taken to hospital with multiple bite wounds to her legs, back and arms.
Animal Care and Control seized the four dogs believed to have attacked the woman. Three Akita cross breeds and a Great Pyrenees will be held until the investigation is complete. Depending on the outcome, the city will decide if they need to be held for another 21 days, said city spokeswoman Chrystal Coleman.
Police say the actions of a neighbourhood man, Jeremy Christensen, saved the woman’s life.
...
A lady was getting mauled by dogs,” Christensen said. “They were all chewing on her.”

It would be very satisfying to launch into feral dogs attacking someone using a nice ax.

To: george76
It’s nice to know that there are still people out there who will pick up an axe and not their “smart phone” in this situation.

They were such good dogs. They were going to enroll in obedience school. One wanted to be a therapy dog...
