An 86-year-old woman was badly injured in a freak animal attack Tuesday. When her hearing aid fell out of her ear, it beeped so loudly the family dog attacked her outside a home in the Hunters Creek subdivision.
The dog has been quarantined for at least ten days of monitoring and the 86-year-old victim's injuries are being described as severe.
The black dachshund mix named Sammie was still dazed and squirmy as his owner tried to load him into Animal Services' truck after the attack. Just minutes earlier, the owner says the high-pitched squeal of a hearing aid sent the dog into a vicious attack on an elderly woman who lived in the home.

My aunt has hearing aids and the sound they make sometime are pretty loud. I could see where it could freak out a pet. Isn't a daschund one of those long, little dogs? Not sure how it could do that much damage. I guess she's 86 so I understand how it could harm her more.
