Delivery driver in hospital after being attacked by 2 dogs

A woman in Florida was hospitalized after she was attacked by two dogs while delivering food.

Frances “Fran” Williams, the delivery driver, went up to a house in Ormond Beach, Florida, to deliver when the homeowner tried to warn her to stop approaching the house, according to local Fox 35. Daytona Beach News Journal also reported That the dogs owner Stephanie Sullivan called to Williams and told her to “look” before the first dog attacked her.

But “Before anything could be done, I realized that there was a dog hanging his leg,” Williams, 55, told the newspaper.

Moment later another dog blocked on the arm, the magazine reported.

“I screamed for help,” Williams said. “I really felt that I was going to die.”

Sullivan’s husband was able to pull the dogs away from Williams, which were later transported in an ambulance to the local Halifax Health Medical Center, where she had surgery to heal the wounds.

On June 20, the incident led to the two dogs – one Staffordshire and a Labrador Retriever -mix – being removed by Volusia County Animal Services, where they remain in custody while their owners appeal the authorities’ decision to classify them as “dangerous”, reports outlets.

With reference to a police report, Fox 35 and News journal Reported that Sullivan was waiting outside at Williams to show up to home with her food delivery when her children began to cry at home. Sullivan went in to control his child when Williams arrived and began to approach the house. Sullivan then tried to warn Williams to stop going up to the house, but Williams did not hear the warning.

Williams’ daughter launched a gofundme to help her 55-year-old mother raise money to pay for her medical bills. Williams’ daughter Meghan wrote that her mother “had to undergo blood transfusions and a five -hour surgery to secure her wounds and close her.”

“She has a long recovery process in front of her, but we are so grateful for the medical staff who could make her take care of,” wrote William’s daughter. “They told her that it was a few times that they were worried that she would not survive because of blood loss.”

Fox 35 reported that Sullivan said she and her family are planning to contest the Volusia County Animal Services decision to classify the dogs as “dangerous” to try to get their pets back from custody. The outlet reported that a hearing planned for last Wednesday, July 9, did not take place after the dogs owners failed to show up in court.
