heres the story, i found it on the net and copied it:

Early on the morning of December 22, 2002, Shenica and her friend Natasha, were walking a friend home. As they returned from dropping their friend off, 2 dogs, who they had noticed earlier in their walk, approached them. They were big dogs and Shenica was getting increasingly nervous about them. The dogs began to jump up on Shenica. It seemed at first to Natasha that they were playing, so she said to Shen, "Come on, Shen, they're just playing, let's go." Shenica huddled over the hood of a car to avoid the dogs and then said to Tash, "They're biting me! They're biting me! Help me, Tash!" The aggression displayed by the dogs quickly escalated into an attack of nightmarish proportions. As they continued to bite Shenica, Tash yelled at the dogs to get off of her. The dogs paid no attention and continued to attack Shenica's face, head, and arm. They knocked her to the ground and then began to drag her away, holding her by her scalp and left upper arm. Shenica screamed and tried to fight the dogs off to no avail. Tash began to scream as loud as she could and soon people from the neighbourhood began pouring out of their houses with pots, sticks, and anything else they could grab to try and fend the dogs off. It took several desperate attempts before the dogs finally let go of Shenica and then ran away. Sadly, by this time, Shenica had sustained devastating wounds to her head, face, and left arm. As she lay on the ground, those around her were not sure if she was conscious; some even wondered if she was alive. By this time, three other friends had arrived to help. They came close to comfort her but some were so shocked at the extent of her wounds that they backed away, crying. Shenica heard them crying softly in the background and spoke in a clear voice, "Tell them not to cry, I'm okay." She was then rushed by ambulance to Vancouver General Hospital. Several hours later, she underwent nearly 8 hours of surgery. Thus began her journey of recovery and healing.
