A Brooklyn woman says a night out to dinner turned terrifying when a dog attacked her service animal and it was all caught on camera. Now, she’s calling for action to keep her family safe.

Drexel isn’t just any dog- he is Christine Fitzsimonds’ trained service dog.

"He's been with us for four years,” said Fitzsimonds. “He's very great at what he does and everyone loves him."

But on June 27, outside the Corner Restaurant on 3rd Avenue and 86th Street, he was the one who needed saving.

The Bay Ridge woman says she was sitting outside the restaurant, and her service dog was leashed, sitting underneath her feet when, out of nowhere, a pit bull lunged at her dog.

News 12 obtained the exclusive surveillance video of the incident.

"Suddenly, a dog had dragged my dog by the neck out from under the barrier,” Fitzsimonds said. “It was just traumatizing. It's like seeing your kid being attacked. Everything just kind of went blank, just kind of in a panic mode to save him."

Other customers rushed to help, calling 911. She says the other dog's owner refused to give his information and took off moments after the attack.

"He seemed kind of aggressive and then he cursed at my partner,” Fitzsimonds explained.

Drexel escaped the attack with only a minor cut on his stomach. His collars took the brunt of the damage, but Fitzsimonds says the attack left an emotional mark.

"He's definitely more needy,” the Bay Ridge dog owner said. “We're going back to doing some retraining and treats, things that help him do his job."

Surveillance video shows police arrive about 20 minutes later. She says officers promised to return and take a report but never did.

“The police need to make sure there's incident reports about this because if this dog were to attack a child, I just couldn't live with myself knowing that I could've done something."
