Corning, California – A 7-year-old girl is recovering from life-threatening injuries after she was viciously attacked by multiple dogs near her home, suffering severe trauma including the loss of her scalp and deep lacerations to her legs.

The attack occurred on June 27, 2026, when the girl, identified as Patricia, was playing outside. According to family members and authorities, she was mauled by several dogs, leaving her with devastating wounds.

“The dogs ripped her scalp off and left her with numerous wounds all over her body,” a family member wrote on a GoFundMe page set up to support her medical expenses.

Patricia was rushed to a local hospital before being airlifted to a specialized trauma center for advanced treatment. She underwent emergency surgery and is described as “fighting for her life” in the days following the incident. Recent updates indicate she is making progress and is expected to return home soon, though her recovery will be long and challenging.

Photos shared by the family show the extent of her injuries, with her head wrapped in bandages and arms in casts, contrasted with joyful pre-attack images of her smiling brightly.
