A 35-year-old mother of four is facing a long road to recovery after being severely injured in a dog attack in Polk County. What we know: Crasonia Wineinger, who also goes by Cassie, is being currently treated at Memorial Hermann in Houston, where she has already undergone multiple surgeries. Her father, David Pyron, says his daughter was walking home from a store when four dogs attacked her, leaving her with serious injuries to her arms, legs, neck and back. The backstory: According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the attack happened Sunday, October 11, near Quailcrest Drive in the Lake Livingston Village neighborhood. Investigators say four pit bull-type dogs attacked Wineinger while she was walking. One dog reportedly knocked her to the ground before the other three joined in. Her father described the terrifying moments. Pyron says the dogs knocked Cassie to the ground as she curled into a ball to protect herself. He says she suffered a fractured hand, significant damage to the muscles and tendons in her arms, and multiple bite wounds. She's got claw marks all over her back. They bit into her legs, Pyron said. Authorities say people driving by intervened and scared the dogs away. Cassie was then able to make it to a neighbor's home, where the neighbor called 911. Deputy helped save her life What they're saying: The Polk County Sheriff's Office says a deputy responding to the attack rushed Wineinger to a local hospital in his patrol vehicle because of the severity of her injuries. She was later flown to Houston for additional treatment. Pyron says his daughter lost a significant amount of blood and credits the quick actions of the deputy and neighbor with saving her life.
