SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A woman was attacked by her own dog during a walk Friday in the Grant Hill neighborhood.
Around noon, the San Diego Police Department requested assistance from the San Diego Human Society's law enforcement team about a dog bite incident in the 100 block of 29th Street, Nina Thompson with SDHS said in a news release.

'The biting dog, and her litter of eight neonate puppies, will undergo a mandatory 10-day bite quarantine at San Diego Humane Society in accordance with state rabies protocols,' Thompson said. 'The mother dog will serve her bite quarantine at our San Diego Campus, and the puppies in foster care.'
All the owner's animals, five adult dogs and eight puppies, were taken to SDHS' San Diego campus for emergency boarding during the investigation.
SDHS is looking to contact family members or friends of the victim. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigations@ and reference case number 245761.
