College student receives 100 stitches after dog *******

STILLWATER, Okla. (KFOR) — An Oklahoma college student is recovering from an unexpected dog ******* last week. She said it was terrifying and has 100 stitches on her face.

“I’m never going to be the same in my face,” said Cheyenne Brown, who was attacked by a pitbull.

A week ago, Brown was at her friend’s house playing with a dog she’s met before, but said she’s never had issues with in the past.

“I was rubbing the dog’s belly and stuff, and I stopped and he kind of like stood up and I turned to talk to my friend and I turned back. As soon as I turn to the right, he latched, jumped at me,” said Brown.

Brown said she thought it was just a small *****, but her friend’s said otherwise.

“They’re like, oh, we need to get her to the hospital. And I’m like, I’m fine. You know? Like I’m good. And they’re like, no, we got to go, you need to go,” said Brown.

Brown’s friend jumped into action and rushed to

“I can never leave her by herself to go through something like that so serious and to be alone. I couldn’t imagine,” said Skylar Odum, a friend of Brown’s.

Brown said there’s a 6-12 month recovery for her.

She said she loves animals, but hopes her story will prompt others to be cautious.

“It does hurt when I eat, like going to eat like solid food. I can’t brush my teeth because of the stitches. So that sucks too,” said Brown.

Stillwater Police said the dog is in quarantine.

They sent News 4 a statement with regards to the incident.
