Terrifying fury of aggressive dog that viciously mauled owner leaving her with severe life-threatening injuries
The terrifying fury of an out-of-control dog that left its owner fighting for life after a horrific attack has been caught on video. A woman in her 20s was mauled at her San Antonio home late on Wednesday night. Dramatic footage shows the aggressive animal lashing out at police officers as they try to bring it under control. The as yet unnamed victim suffered life-threatening injuries during the attack and was rushed to University Hospital where she remains in a critical condition. Footage captured at the scene show the woman being lifted onto a stretcher from her home by emergency teams. Officers told Kens5 that the dog was being aggressive towards a friend that the woman had over, and after trying to put the dog on her balcony it turned on her. It is unclear at this time if the woman's friend was also injured in the attack, Daily Mail has approached San Antonio Police Department for more information. The hound was taken into the custody of the city's Animal Care Services. It remains unclear what breed the dog is. It comes after a pit bull mauled a baby to death in front of the child's mother inside an Ohio home. Blakely Bosser, 1, was killed inside the home in Dover on July 2 after the dog savaged her. Her mom Nicole had bent over to pick up some laundry with Blakely behind her when the family pet turned violent. In the split second Nicole had her back turned, the dog growled and jumped at Blakely, relentlessly biting the helpless child on her face and throat. Police and emergency officials rushed to gory scene. Blakely was pronounced dead soon after they arrived.

Diaper-wearing spider monkey found wandering loose in Texas
June 19 (UPI) -- A baby spider monkey wearing a diaper was captured after running loose through a San Antonio neighborhood. San Antonio Animal Care Services said the spider monkey, estimated to be about 6 months old, was reported running through the Northwest Crossing neighborhood on Tuesday. Officers arrived to find the young primate sitting in the street and wearing a heavily soiled diaper. ACS was able to safely capture the monkey and is working with Primarily Primates to give the baby animal specialized care. The monkey's owner was identified and cited for having a prohibited animal in the city, allowing an animal to wander freely, failing to produce evidence of the animal having a rabies vaccine and failing to have the animal microchipped. Spider monkeys, native to southern Mexico, Central and South America, are considered exotic animals and are not allowed as pets in San Antonio.
