Tacoma Woman Recovering After Dog Attack Forced Early Delivery of Her Son

“I just remember thinking, like, ‘I’m probably going to die,'” Wilson said.

Doctors induced labor the following day over infection concerns from the bite wounds. Her son, Armani Ross, was born healthy. Wilson said the moment still doesn’t feel like the one she imagined. “I’m in shock, I’m angry. I feel like the birth of my son was taken from me,” she said.

Tacoma Animal Control impounded both dogs identified as an American Pit Bull Terrier and an American Bully and said the owners are cooperating with the investigation. The dogs are under a mandatory 10-day quarantine ahead of a dangerous-dog investigation, which the owners can appeal. Citations against the owners, including leash-law and injury violations, total more than $2,000. Wilson said she also plans to file a civil suit.

She’s now facing physical therapy to regain mobility in one leg, and says she’s nervous to return to where the attack happened but glad to finally be home with her son.
