DALLAS — A Dallas mother is recovering tonight after surviving a recent dog attack.
The attack was caught on the victim’s home’s surveillance camera.
Surveillance video shows the moment Reyna Gutierrez was bringing her children home from school when a dog attacked them.
“I had the dog right here next to me,” described Gutierrez in Spanish.
CBS News Texas’ photographer Ulysses Romero translated the conversation.
“He showed up out of nowhere running I didn’t see him and he began attacking.”
Her daughter jumped on top of a car to get away while her son ran to their home.
“I was afraid that he would go towards the children, that he would go towards them or that he would knock me down and bite me in my stomach or in my face I was afraid,” said Gutierrez.
“I had my son’s backpack and that’s what I used to protect my stomach because I’m pregnant.”
A construction worker heard the screams and ran to help her.
“And the dog started attacking him,” said Gutierrez.
