Several dogs reportedly attacked a 7-year-old girl, causing significant injuries to her scalp and legs. The incident occurred on June 27 around 12:30 p.m. in the vicinity of Barham Avenue and Bosque Avenue near Corning, as per a statement from the Tehama County Sheriff’s Office. The girl, identified as Patricia by her family, was taken to the hospital, and her condition was not disclosed at the time of the sheriff’s office report.
Following the attack, a GoFundMe campaign was set up by Patricia’s grandmother, Monica Edmiston, to raise funds for the girl’s recovery. Edmiston described the severity of the injuries, stating that the dogs had caused extensive wounds on Patricia’s body, including ripping off her scalp. The fundraiser highlighted Patricia’s strength and resilience, with her family staying by her side during her hospitalization in Sacramento.
An update on the GoFundMe page indicated that Patricia was discharged from the hospital on June 30 but faces a challenging road to recovery. The Tehama County Sheriff’s Office seized six dogs suspected to be involved in the incident as evidence. Investigations are ongoing, and no arrests have been made yet.
The fundraiser surpassed its initial goal of $3,000, raising over $4,100 to assist Patricia’s family with expenses during her rehabilitation. Donations to the GoFundMe page can be made by visiting the link provided.
