SAN ANTONIO – Three people, including a San Antonio firefighter and a paramedic, were taken to a local hospital after officials say they were attacked by dogs on the city's Northwest Side.

SAFD crews arrived at the woman's home in the 7800 block of Braun Circle around 2:55 p.m. Thursday.
SAFD said the dog had suffered some sort of injury prior to attacking its owner.
The firefighter and paramedic tried to intervene and that's when they were also attacked by the dogs, Arrington said.
All three people were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, some of which were dog bites, Arrington said.
SAFD said the dog was a family pet and was in obvious physical distress, and it was not any sort of vicious threat.
