A 25-year-old woman in the United States had her arm amputated after a stray dog she was fostering attacked her in July. According to the New York Post, Kalista Munoz spent days in a coma and underwent more than a dozen surgeries, including the amputation of her mangled right arm, following the attack. Ms Munoz was already caring for several other foster animals when she agreed to help Zona, a stray found by a friend. The dog gave her no trouble for three months until he got into a fight with one of her other pooches, the 25-year-old said.
"He escaped from my room which is where he was. He had a cone on, but with no hesitation, he darted downstairs," Ms Munoz told AZFamily. She said that she ended up cornered in the bathroom, with the dog latched onto her arm for 30 minutes before police eventually arrived.
"I eventually got trapped in there. And by the time I could grab the door, unfortunately, this part of my arm was already chewed out," she said.
