The estranged wife of Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood is recovering from injuries she suffered when a Bakersfield police dog mauled her inside her home on Easter Sunday.

Attorney Daniel Rodriguez tells KBAK/KBFX that Victoria Youngblood was asleep in her bedroom when the dog pounced on her and clamped down on her head.

A medical report shows Youngblood's right ear was mutilated and she is in danger of losing her hearing.

Rodriguez says police went to the home to serve a search warrant involving the Youngblood's son who was arrested earlier in the day for investigation of possession of a controlled substance.

1. Just horrifying. Definitely one to watch develop.

How on earth they let a dog loose in her house while she was asleep is going to be key to the millions of dollars in reparations and damages that woman deserves.
