Daniella Schlauch, a 9-year-old girl from Long Island, endured serious injuries following a brutal attack by a pit bull outside her home. The dog charged at her as she exited a vehicle, leading to bites on her face and a detachment of part of her ear. Her father intervened heroically to prevent further harm. Now faced with a long recovery involving hundreds of stitches, the Schlauch family is advocating for the dog, currently under evaluation, to be removed due to safety concerns and the dog's owners' lack of proper fencing and licensing.
He could've killed me if no one was out there," the plucky girl told CBS New York.
I didn't have time to think but I knew I had to save my daughter's life," he told News12 Long Island.
He could've killed her. He just missed her eye. Her eyebrow is cut in half. Nine staples in her head."
I want the dog to be removed from the home because we're afraid to go outside of our house because the dog is still unrestrained and it can escape and attack someone else."
