A Regina woman found herself in a scary situation while on a walk last Tuesday, when three large dogs became aggressive towards her and her dog in the Lakeview neighbourhood.

“He just kept on wanting to get my dog and I was screaming for help but it was early in the morning and I don’t think a lot of people heard,” the woman, who wished to remain anonymous said of the one dog that physically attacked her.

The scene of the incident is an area the woman and her small dog often walked in.

“The [one] dog just started going, so I turned sideways and he started attacking my left side and bit me about five times and then a very lovely lady came out and was able to scare it away,” the woman said.

She ended up needing three stitches as a result of the incident and has since been in contact with Animal Protection Services.

Now she hopes others can use her experience as a learning opportunity.

“Make sure our gates are secured, locked if you have to, our fences are maintained so that the dogs can’t get out and attack somebody like they attacked me. They could get hit by a car, there’s several things that can happen and it’s our responsibility to take action and care for our dogs,” the woman said.
