Mytoka Petry has lost an arm and nearly lost her eye in the dog attack

 


Mytoka Petry was in North Portland 15 days ago just taking a walk when she was attacked by eight dogs.  The attack occurred near a homeless camp though it is not known if the animals were connected to the camp.

Two people tried to help her.  One of them was also hospitalized with significant injuries.

Petry lost an arm, an ear and possibly an eye in the attack.  It takes the nurses about four hours just to change her dressings.  

The dogs were seized and are now impounded.  No arrests have been made in the attack.

It is anticipated by the medical staff that Petry may be in the hospital for months and is still considered to be in critical condition.
