A 5-year-old Missouri girl is fighting for her life after a neighbor's dog got loose and attacked her while she played in her back yard.
Althea was playing in her backyard in Independence on Tuesday, October 8th, when a dangerous encounter occurred. A neighbor's unrestrained dog entered the backyard where Althea was playing under adult supervision.
The dog viciously attacked Althea and caused significant damage before it could be neutralized.
Animal services were able to detain the dog on the day of the attack and it has been euthanized.
According to a GoFundMe set up by Althea's father's employer, she suffered a skull fracture, broken ribs and a broken collarbone. He shared that doctors fear she may have permanent brain damage and she has been placed in a medically induced coma as she currently fights for her life.
Our thoughts are with the family as they cope with this tragic event. We are rooting for Althea to have a full recovery!
