A 9-year-old girl is out of the hospital, and the dog that put her there is in quarantine.Martina Mendoza's arms are covered in bandages. Her mom, Theresa Barrientos, said she'll have scars, both physical and mental, and the fallout from the Friday afternoon attack has her family and other neighbors on edge."It's hard to grab stuff, it's hard to clean, but it's hard to eat, too," Martina said.On Friday, when she was playing outside with her two brothers, Martina felt a dog's teeth sink into her arms near South 30th and Gold streets. "When I turned around, walking home, it jumped on me," she said.Barrientos rushed to stop the bleeding from Martina's arms, ear and face. She rode with her daughter to Nebraska Medicine, where they stitched and covered several open wounds and punctures."My child is sitting there, telling me she's scared she's dying and stuff like that. That's not something a parent should have to listen to or want to have to able to sit there and take," Barrientos said.Barrientos said the Nebraska Humane Society told her the pit bull lives across the street and that it jumped over a chain-link fence before attacking her daughter. Per NHS and health department policy, all animals that bite someone are taken and put in quarantine for 10 days. Barrientos said she fears the dog will go home and traumatize her daughter again."My daughter's scared to go catch the bus at her bus stop, and she's in fear of being able to go to school," Barrientos said.KETV Newswatch 7 talked to the dog's owner, who said he both regrets what happened and is currently building a second fence to keep his pet on the property.Barrientos said she isn't satisfied with that arrangement. "I don't think any family should have to worry about their child being attacked when they're out there, being a kid in the neighborhood with other kids, playing," she said.KETV Newswatch 7 contacted the Nebraska Humane Society to see if the dog's owner faces any citations. Barrientos also said she doesn't want the dog to be put down but she feels the animal may still escape, even with a bigger fence.
