A woman suffered severe injuries after a dog she had secured to a post in a San Francisco neighborhood broke free and attacked her, requiring multiple surgeries to treat the damage. Authorities are investigating how the animal escaped its restraints, though the incident has left the victim facing a long recovery. The case raises questions about pet safety and the risks of unrestrained animals in public spaces. Details on the dog’s condition or the woman’s current status remain unclear.


Amber King said she had tied the dog to a post in the Tenderloin when it somehow got loose and charged at her, leaving her with devastating injuries that required multiple surgeries.
