Fuller grabbed her five-month-old son from his bouncer and shut him in another room while Johnson forced the dogs from the home. Her Chihuahua, a pet since 2012, died following the attack.

When she called the Monroe Police Department to report the incident, Fuller learned officers already were in the neighborhood on a second report.
