Actress calls for action after dog attack in Rio

Brazilian actress Leticia Salles was attacked by five stray dogs while jogging in Maricá, a city in Rio de Janeiro, on Thursday. The incident occurred as she was recording a video on the beach. She described feeling frightened as the dogs rushed towards her and bit her multiple times. Salles suffered serious injuries, including scratches and bites on her legs. A bystander helped scare the dogs away. She drove herself to a nearby hospital, where she received treatment and a rabies shot. Salles shared photos of her injuries on social media, noting the extent of the damage to her shorts and her injuries. The actress expressed surprise and humor at the situation, saying she never expected to be attacked by dogs while running. She also shared that other people in the area had similar experiences with dog attacks, leading to severe injuries, especially among children. Salles is now calling for local authorities to address the issue of stray dogs. She believes the dogs need to be relocated to prevent future attacks on residents, especially children. She pointed out that the problem has persisted for a long time and urged for action to be taken to ensure public safety.
