A pregnant woman was rushed into labor induction after being viciously mauled by two dogs, suffering horrific injuries while trying to protect her tiny chihuahua.

Emergency crews responded to reports of two loose dogs in the 4000 block of Puget Sound Avenue in Tacoma at about 11:05 a.m. last Thursday, where they found Renee Wilson injured after the attack.

She was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, then transferred to Tacoma General Hospital, where she remains recovering from her injuries and an infection, reported K5.

Wilson said she had been carrying her baby’s car seat to her vehicle when she heard barking and saw two dogs charging toward her chihuahua, Katie.

“They ran up, and they tried to attack my chihuahua, so I jumped in front of her to stop them from attacking her,” Wilson told K5.

That’s when things took a turn for the worse.

“It kept latching back on to places after it would bite me, so it bit my arm, then jumped back up and attacked my belly,” she said.

Wilson said one of the dogs dragged her to the ground by her hair as the mauling continued.

“Well, he’s only 4 days old, so I’m kind of lonely. I miss him,” she said. “I wish I was able to be with him. I wish he was able to be here.”

Police said the two dogs, an American pit bull terrier and an American bully, escaped through a broken fence board that their owners knew about.

The animals were secured at the scene and impounded by Tacoma Animal Control, where they are being held during a standard 10-day quarantine.

Animal control officers have since declared both dogs “dangerous” animals.

Their owners have 10 days to appeal the decision before a judge. If they do not successfully challenge the ruling, the dogs could be euthanized.

Police said the owners cooperated with officers at the scene. They’re also facing misdemeanor charges for failing to license the dogs and allowing them to run at large, totaling $2,000 in fines.

Wilson said she plans to file a civil lawsuit against the dogs’ owners.

Ripped from the headlines of the satirical Babylon Bee:

A DEI extravaganza to mark the 250th birthday of the USA!

Oh wait.

That’s not the Bee; it’s actually a thing: San Diego County plans an identity-politics spectacular this July 4.

Wanna go?

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted this year to align the county’s Independence Day event with “equity and racial justice” goals.

Per a social media post from the mayor of El Cajon, the three-hour program will feature: a “tribal intimate blessing welcoming to land”; a tribal invocation; the American and black national anthems; local tribal community stories; Latino community stories; Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community stories; LGBTQIA+ community stories; and black and African community stories.

Whew. It’s exhausting just to read about.

But more to the point: all of this … on July 4 of America’s 250th year? What message does the county of San Diego mean to send?

Not one that elevates fun, family, unity, respect, gratitude and patriotism — traditional Independence Day fare.

Instead, the county stoops to woke pandering.

Extolling favored groups on the nation’s birthday is e pluribus unum in reverse: ex uno, plura.

It’s divisive. It’s ill-timed. And it’s disrespectful to the nation, to its founding values and to the US Armed Forces who have fought and sometimes died to guard the rights the grievance crowd takes for granted.

In the very recent past, Americans of all stars and stripes could agree on some things, including the Fourth of July and its fun family patriotic fare.

Remember the iconic jingle, “We love baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet?”

Those were days when Americans united around major holidays, around a shared heritage of freedom and around pride in a country that’s the freest in the world.

No longer.

These days, the scolds can’t be satisfied, the socialists win elections from New York to Colorado (unthinkable not long ago) and divisive Fourth of July programs emerge in once-moderate places like San Diego County.

Increasingly, elected officials want to shove a thumb in the eye of the nation, its founding, its traditions and its glory.

Enough.

Note to the radicals who rush to tear America down on perhaps its most cherished holiday:

Stop being petulant about losing national elections.

Love your country even if you don’t love its current leader.

Teach, respect and appreciate the values of 1776: liberty, individual rights, equality, limited government and the rule of law.

Ditch the woke bilge and restore the picnics, US flags and fireworks.

Restore e pluribus unum.

Skip the lecture series and let the people have fun.

And a bonus memo to San Diego County voters: Remember this farce next election.

Just maybe, in another grand American tradition, you’ll do this:

Throw the bums out.
