911 call released after Broward Animal Control worker seriously injured by dog
Police have released a 911 call on Friday after a Broward Animal Control worker was attacked by a dog in Fort Lauderdale.
The attack occurred on Thursday around 7 p.m. near the 700 block of Southwest 14th Terrace, according to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.
Officers responded after receiving a call about the incident. Police confirmed the injured woman was an Animal Control Officer with Broward County Animal Care.
"A dog is mauling her"
FLPD said the first officer arrived at the scene three minutes after the 911 call was dispatched over police radio.
In the 911 call, a woman screams and begs for the dispatcher to send help immediately.
At one point, you hear the dog growling as whoever is on scene wrestles to get it off the animal control officer.
The woman told the dispatcher her son got the dog off the animal control officer and was lying on top of it so it wouldn't get loose.
The animal control officer suffered severe injuries in the attack, but authorities confirmed Friday that she's expected to survive.
