Savaged: Houston woman Maria Arcos is fighting for her life
A woman is fighting for her life after suffering a heart attack brought on by a horrific dog attack that has left her with severe wounds from head to toe.
Maria Arcos was set upon by a pack of at least 15 dogs while she was on her way to start a new job on Monday morning.
The 52-year-old, from Houston, was passing through an underpass when she was surrounded by the pack of strays, the ring leader of which is believed to be a pit bull cross.
The wild animals savaged her, pulling her to the ground and biting her arms and legs.
Arcos was left with severe wounds and is now in hospital in a critical condition. Her family fear the attack left her so badly injured she might not pull through.
Her stepson Oscar Reyes said: ‘They were eating her – the dogs was eating her to the bone.
‘They bit her arms, her legs, her neck. They cover her.
‘Supposedly in 48 hours, if she doesn’t get better, she’s not going to make it.’
During the frenzied attack, Oscar claims his stepmother’s clothes were ripped off and she now has severe wounds covering most of her body.
Although she was still conscious when officers arrived, the stress of the mauling caused her to have a heart attack.
