Pregnant woman survives Tacoma, WA dog attack, baby delivered safely

TACOMA, Wash. A woman remains hospitalized with serious infections after being attacked by two pit bulls in Tacoma.

A neighbor’s home security camera captured the moment the two dogs targeted Renee Wilson, who was pregnant, and her small dog. The footage recorded Wilson yelling and trying to shoo the animals away before neighbors arrived to intervene and assist her.

Emergency delivery following the attack

Wilson suffered multiple injuries during the incident, reporting that the dogs bit her arm, thigh, head, and leg. The severity of the encounter escalated when one of the dogs bit her midsection.

“I was thinking, oh my god, my baby. As soon as the dog grabbed my belly… I was like, ‘oh my God, he’s going to die’” Wilson said.

Due to puncture wounds on her abdomen and the subsequent risk of infection, doctors induced labor and delivered her baby the following day. Wilson reported that her newborn son is doing well.
