Woman's Arm Severed in Queensland Dog Attack

A woman in her 30s is in critical condition after a severe dog attack in Townsville, Queensland, where her arm was severed. Emergency services responded to the incident early Friday morning, and despite attempts to control the dog, it was euthanized by police on the scene. Surgery is planned to reattach the woman's arm, and an investigation is ongoing. This follows earlier incidents in Melbourne, where a woman was critically injured by dogs in a backyard, and in San Antonio, where six dogs deemed dangerous were euthanized after attacking a woman and damaging police property. The Melbourne attack involved police using capsicum spray but ultimately led to the dogs being shot dead. The San Antonio incident highlighted ongoing issues with loose dogs in the area.
