A 2-year-old girl was bitten by a dog outside of her Tyler, Texas home and had to receive 80 stitches. The girl was outside with her mother when she left her mother's site and was attacked. The dog bites were on her head. The attack happened last Wednesday.

I come running around the house and there she was coming to find me. Her head was just blood was everywhere. Scared me I didn't know what happened. I could see her skull," said Stacie, "That is a mom's worst fear. Not knowing what happened to their kid and seeing their child in that kind of condition."

Five dogs were put down, including two of the family's pets. None of the dogs had a rabies shot. The little girl is now home and expected to recover completely.
