SAN ANTONIO -- In Kerr County, residents feel afraid.
"I went to Vietnam, and I don't think I was that scared in Vietnam," said Rick Heimann, dog attack victim. "It's awful."
Rick Heimann lives in the 400 block of Mack Hollimon.
In August, he was attacked by a bull mastiff named Teak.
"It lasted 15 to 20 seconds and it felt like two days," he said.
Kerrville police believe the same dog attacked a woman on Sunday. She was attacked by a 180-pound bull mastiff and flew to University Hospital in San Antonio for treatment. She had multiple bite wounds and major injuries to her left arm.
The dog belonged to her son, and a sheriff's deputy had to shoot the dog.
Meanwhile, residents say it's time for the city to put some teeth in dangerous dog laws.
In a separate, unrelated incident, Sheli Rose was attacked by a dog in June. She said dangerous dog laws in Texas aren't tough enough. She wants city and county leaders to create laws that actually protect citizens.
"It's a crap shoot walking up the streets in the city of Kerrville," Rose said.
