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.
