WOAI was at Animal Control Services as three dogs were taken off the property on Monday at Spruce Ridge Drive near Kitty Hawk in Converse.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said Heather Rodriguez, 36, who was babysitting, left the toddler with her 13-year-old daughter when one of the pit bulls forced its way into a bedroom and attacked the baby.

"The 13-year-old was able to maintain control of the baby, but at this point, it was being described to me as almost a tug-of-war for the baby between at least one of the dogs and the little girl," he said.

Investigators noted other dogs joined in the attack on the baby, also biting the 13-year-old. She managed to break away to call 911 then came back to protect the baby from the dogs.


Pictures from the Bexar County Sheriff's Office show where the dogs damaged the door.

Sheriff Salazar said Rodriguez had a citation for having unleashed dogs in May when they wouldn't let a man out of his car. Now, she's charged with injury to a child with serious bodily injury by omission.

She could face more charges for the injuries to her daughter.
