An elderly woman recalled the scary moment when she was attacked by her neighbor’s dog while in her front yard in Houston, Texas, on the evening of Wednesday, March 26.

After suspected abuse, Stevie is very fearful of people encroaching his space, but volunteer Iva Popova saw potential in him.

A medical examination found that the dog, believed to be called Tywinn, died from drowning. CCTV footage showed Lawrence exiting the women's toilets without the dog and then later at her gate.
