SACRAMENTO, CA - A young Sacramento girl went through a third surgery Tuesday for mauling wounds she suffered from a pit bull attack Saturday evening.
UC Davis Medical Center officials said Carrasco is currently in good condition.
Sabrina Carrasco, 9, was attacked in an apartment complex lawn area at 7718 La Mancha Way about 9 p.m., according to Gina Knepp, spokeswoman for the Sacramento City Animal Control.
The girl was with a teenager and two toddlers playing when the pit bull headed for them, according to witnesses. The teenager was able to grab the little kids. Carrasco couldn't run away in time.
Knepp said the girl has injuries to her face, shoulder, side and back.
The young girl's mother, Ana Reyes, fears that her daughter will never be the same again. Her daughter still has a serious wound to her shoulder from the dog bite.
"The one on her shoulder is this big and this deep," Reyes explained.
Reyes said her daughter is still in a lot of pain. And the attack traumatized her.
"She says, 'Mommy, it hurts.' She was going down and she says, 'Don't let me die'," Reyes said.
A witness told News10 that the same day the pit bull attacked Carrasco, the dog had gotten out three times.
The dog's owner said his pet was a pit bull and labrador mix dog. Knepp said the pit bull had not been vaccinated against rabies. The dog was to be destroyed Tuesday with the owner's approval.
