HONOLULU (KHON2) — Reports of loose and dangerous dogs on the Pearl Harbor bike path prompted response from the police department and humane society.
HPD posted on social media that they walked the path with staff from Hawaiian Humane on Wednesday after the reports.
“They identified two dangerously aggressive dogs and five strays. All seven animals were taken by HHS.”
Cali Burcham was attacked on the path in August.
“I decided to turn around just because I didn’t want to have any issues with the animal,” Burcham said.
She pulled out her pepper spray because she had a bad feeling and started walking backwards.
“About 20 steps in, 15 to 20 dogs ambushed me from behind, and began attacking me, tearing my leggings to shreds,” she said. “As soon as my pepper spray was out, my heart just fell, I literally felt like this was my last moment.”
Nearby residents helped her until paramedics arrived.
There was a report of another attack in the area on Tuesday, which is what prompted the sweep.
