A tree trimmer rescued a woman who was being mauled by her pet dog in Placentia Tuesday.
The woman's pit bull bit her, and pulled her inside her house on the 700 block of East Yorba Linda Blvd, Placentia Police Department said. Her daughter ran out and screamed for help, and a nearby tree trimmer ran in with a broom and was able to get the dog off the woman.
While assisting Orange County Animal Care Officers a police officer used a stun gun to subdue the aggressive dog. A second aggressive pit bull at the home also was captured.
The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment to several severe, but non-life threatening bites to her head face shoulder and arms.
Both dogs were transported to the Orange County Animal Care Center and are scheduled to be euthanized Wednesday.
