On Thursday morning, Madison Ramey began her day as usual. She ate breakfast with her one-year-old daughter, Maeve, and then took her outside to play in the yard.
Ramey then decided to go on a walk, which is when things became frightening.
“As soon as they turned around and saw me, the brown one [dog] bared his teeth at me,” Ramey told me.
The Enid Police Department verified that three persons were hurt by two dogs. Ramey was rushed to the hospital to be treated for the inch-deep bites. The others declined medical treatment. In addition to healing from the several bites, Ramey had to receive six Rabies vaccinations.
As she recalls the terrifying occurrence, she describes falling into shock and holding her kid to shield her from the pair of savage dogs.
“I was deflecting them with this arm and just kind of letting them bite me and crying for help, just hoping that somebody would hear me,” Ramey recalled.”
As she shouted for aid, she was bitten numerous times in various locations, even collapsing to the ground and still being attacked while holding her kid close to her bosom.
Little Maeve was not bitten and sustained no injuries.
Enid Police went to the area to assist and had to fire and kill one of the dogs.
“Officers located one of the dogs and unfortunately had to shoot it after it attempted to attack one of our officers,” said Cass Rains of the Enid Police Department.
Authorities believe both dogs were Pitbull mixes, with the other still on the loose.
