California woman suffers more than 150 injuries after wild dog attack on trail

Fellow residents say they’ve also seen stray dogs in the area, which is frequently used by kids and mothers with strollers, one said

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.
