A California mother is recovering from more than 150 lacerations and puncture wounds across her body after being attacked by a pack of stray dogs while out for a walk. Dorrie Reyes was walking along a levee in Stockton on April 23 when she was surrounded by seven to nine stray dogs, including German shepherds and mixed breeds, according to a GoFundMe organized by her family. Just moments before the scene turned violent, Reyes filmed the dogs on her phone while shouting for help. As the animals mauled her, a nearby couple heard her cries and rushed in, managing to drive the dogs away, her son Ronnie said. “The good Samaritan was, as far as I know, afraid of dogs, but he still came out to help my mom,” Ronnie Reyes told 9News, wiping away tears, adding his family is thankful to the couple because his mother’s injuries “could’ve been much worse.” Dorrie Reyes was rushed to the hospital with 150 to 200 lacerations and puncture wounds across her arms, legs, face, head and neck. She spent six hours in the operating theater and lost a significant amount of blood, according to the GoFundMe.
It’s rare, but you just have to hit the right area. I see them a few times a week in certain areas of my large metroplex. What’s unnerving is how quickly they can come up on you… It’s less than five seconds for a pack to come around the corner of a house and surround you, and if you scare them off they’re gone just as quickly. They also tend to be active just after sundown, so unless you’re making a point of walking around after dark, you’d miss them.
Idk where you live and I don’t mean this to be rude but it probably is. Once you have packs of vicious roaming dogs that’s a failed state. Like keeping animals from attacking your citizenry is something stone age people worried about and we are failing at it in 2026? Wild
