Two pit bulls attacked a woman on her bike, and she had to have her arms and legs cut off.
Reports suggest that the horrible thing happened in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and that she is now fighting for her life and may need more surgery.
Janelle Scott’s family is asking for prayers and help. Her mother has mentioned that she has been crying when her daughter can’t see her.
“I have to help her, and then I need to go outside and cry for a bit. Cheryl Scott said, “I try not to cry in front of her because I don’t want her to see me like this.”
KOTV in Tulsa, Oklahoma says that Scott’s run-in with the aggressive pit bulls happened on September 9 at 11 p.m.
Scott and her boyfriend were biking to a friend’s house when the friend’s pit bulls jumped out and attacked them immediately away. Scott’s partner couldn’t help at first because he was too far away, but when one of the dogs attacked him, he was able to kill it.

The police said that the attack took place close to a homeless camp where Scott’s friend lives in a trailer.
You have to go through a forest to get to where your friend lives. I guess he stays in a camper or something. “She was walking that way when the dogs came out and bit her.” “She knew the dogs, and they knew her,” Mom Cheryl told KOKI-TV.
Some stories claim that the friend’s trailer had been broken into earlier that evening, which might be how the dogs got out.
The cops got there soon, but Scott was already hurt seriously by the time they got there.
Cheryl said, “After the attack, she knew she was going to lose her right arm because when she looked down, she could see the bone, and it was barely holding on by tendons and stuff.”
Scott was quickly airlifted to St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa.
The first thing the doctors did was take off her right leg and arm. Unfortunately, they had to take off her left arm and leg as well.
Cheryl said, “That was hard for her because she was left-handed and thought she would get to keep her left arm.” Scott will have additional surgery to remove the rest of her legs. Cheryl is praying that she has enough muscle remaining to use prosthesis.
Cheryl wrote on a GoFundMe site for her daughter, “I pray that her body has the strength for more surgery.” Please pray for her. I genuinely think that prayers are really powerful. “Thank you!”
People reported that Scott’s friend, who owned the dogs, was in jail when the event happened. After the event, the person who left to take care of the pit bulls got a ticket.
We are praying for Janelle Scott and thinking about her.
