Neglected Dogs Were So Starved That They Tried To Eat Mother Dog Through The Fence

In California, a mother dog, Sophia, was badly mauled through the fence by some dogs living next door. Sophia, a pit bull, had a litter of four puppies that were only a week old with her.

Perhaps the dogs next door were trying to get at the puppies and Sophia was trying to defend them.

The dogs on the other side of the fence were so hungry, they attacked the Sophia. Her leg was so ravaged it had to be amputated. The five dogs living next door that attacked were beyond help. There was no safe way for them to be rehomed or rehabilitated.
