Brave Youngster Dials 911 as Foster Dog Attacks Mom in Polk County

A heart-wrenching incident unfolded in Winter Haven, Florida, as a local woman sustained severe injuries following an attack by a dog she was fostering. The woman, Kimberly Thompson, had taken in a pit bull from the animal rescue group, Rescue Paws, just a day before the unfortunate event.

As shared by both family members and law enforcement, Thompson’s ordeal began on the morning of May 12. Her own family pets suddenly began barking, which in turn agitated the newly fostered pit bull. The commotion startled the dog, leading to a terrifying encounter.
