She shared that she’s uncertain if it was because she touched her dog’s hips or if because it was old and confused, or because she held it too close to her that it made it scared before attacking her.

Lara suffered severed injuries in her face after her dog attacked her. Doctors had to perform two surgeries on her where she was left with 40 stitches on her face and gums.

She said she did not feel any pain when she was bitten. She also added that she would not blame the dog, after all, it was unintentional.

It is understood that the dog will not be euthanized.

Lara is now recovering well although there is still some slight inflammation on her face.

OMG! Try not to take pictures so close to your dog, guys!
