Australian Woman Severely Injured in Aggressive Dog Attack

A Townsville woman is in serious condition after her arm was severed by her own dog, prompting police to euthanize the animal.

The incident occurred in Townsville, Queensland, where emergency services responded to a severe dog attack early Friday morning.
The victim, a 34-year-old woman, suffered life-threatening injuries after her right arm was bitten off below the elbow by her pit bull.
Police arrived to find the dog aggressive and had to shoot it dead to ensure safety, as it attempted to escape the house.
Witnesses and neighbors reported the dog had a history of aggression, with one neighbor previously attacked by the same animal.
Authorities, including police, the RSPCA, and local council, are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack.
