HONOLULU — Two dogs attacked a mother and her 1 1/2-year-old daughter near the Children’s Discovery Center in the Kakaako neighborhood of Honolulu.
KHON-TV reported Sunday that the attack happened Thursday as the family was waiting for the center to open.
The mother, Brandy Bennett, is recovering from her injuries, which include bruising, scratches and a bite mark on her legs.
Bennett says she and her daughter were walking around the park near the center when two medium-sized, caramel-colored poi dogs rushed toward them.
Bennett says she held her daughter as high as she could during the attack.
Bystanders managed to get the dogs away and called 911.
Bennett says the dogs ran off to a nearby tent.
Managers of the center have long been concerned about homeless encampments that have sprung up on streets surrounding their building.
