According to court documents, Mytoka Petry was attacked and mauled by two dogs after visiting her brother at his apartment, and walking down a trail past an encampment.

Petry’s brother ran to the scene when he heard her screaming and broke up the attack while armed with a hammer. Petry had to have her left arm amputated and also lost her left ear. She also lost part of her lips due to the attack, along with a myriad of other serious injuries.
