The two ended up quickly plowed around by the crazed pack of poodles.
“Then they jumped us,” Burleson told the paper. “We were being at the base of a pack of 10 snarling, biting canines.”
“I assumed Emma and I were being going to be killed,” she said, noting she tried to shield the older dog, who is beloved through the local community for doing the job at a area clinic as a service animal.
As she attempted to fend off the pack of poodles, Burleson felt her finger being bitten. She was stunned when she recognized it was the owner of the poodles, who was allegedly biting her finger, the paper reported.
“It was a person of the most strange experiences of my lifestyle when I seemed up and saw that it was a human being who was biting me. I screamed to cease and he did,” Burleson instructed the paper. The other proprietor evidently later on told her he considered he was biting a single of his dogs.
An additional girl, who was not identified, immediately turned a hero when she pulled Emma out of the chaos.

As Emma’s attack demonstrated, these pet dogs can be harmful to other pet dogs, individuals or, God forbid, young children.”
