'THEY ARE MY SUPERHEROES': A 9-year-old girl who was mauled by a dog Monday at a park in Pennsauken reunited Wednesday with the three teenagers who saved her life.
PENNSAUKEN, N.J. — A joyful reunion for a little girl and good Samaritans who saved her from an attacking dog in Camden County earlier this week.
The young girl’s mother was trying to thank three teens who she says helped saved her daughter’s life. Thanks to Facebook, they were able to connect.That’s 9-year-old Toni Diaz hugging the three teenagers who saved her life after she was mauled by a dog Monday at a park in Pennsauken.Erika Rivera says her daughter was originally in a state of shock after the attack.“Her clothes is all — it looked like someone just cut all her clothes off and she was just dirty looking,” Rivera said.
Toni was treated for bites and scratches. When asked how she is feeling now, she said “kind of good and kind of bad.” Her three superheroes brought her balloons, candy, and a bear, reuniting at Pennsauken’s Madison Park, the same spot where they saved her.“My heart was racing at the time,” Jamel Alvarez said. “Everything happened so quick.”Alvarez says at first, they thought Toni was playing with the loose dog until they got closer and heard her screaming for help.
“They really saved my daughter,” Rivera said. “Looking at her body and all the cuts, I’m like, they really, really saved her. They are the real heroes.”Toni says she is thanking the three men who saved her life by treating them to dinner at Red Robin.
