A 65-year-old Liberty County woman was attacked by her bull mastiff in her home just outside Dayton Thursday morning, according to news reports. The woman was found unconscious by sheriffs, who arranged for the woman to be flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital. She had bite wounds on her hands, head, and feet. Bull mastiffs are generally considered a very docile breed of dog in spite of their large size.
In general, avoiding the most dangerous breeds of dogs can help prevent dog bites. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics, the most dangerous breeds of dogs are pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Chow Chows, and wolf hybrids. However, even the most docile breeds can attack without warning or provocation, as is evident in this attack. Dog attacks can leave lasting physical and emotional scarring on attack victims. Therefore, it is important to speak with an experienced Houston injury lawyer to fully assess your damages after an animal attack.
