Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City star Bronwyn Newport has revealed shocking details of the shocking dog attack she suffered in April.
Fans of the reality show were left horrified when Bronwyn, 39, showed off the gruesome bite marks on her legs and right arm during this week’s episode.
He has now offered a chilling, step-by-step account of how the incident occurred and how he reacted to the ordeal.
She was walking one of her six canines at a dog park in Salt Lake City when she tried to pet another animal there, only for it to turn around and lunge at her.
Bronwyn confessed that she was “totally scared” and “did everything wrong,” screaming and pulling on his arm in a way she suspects “made things worse.”
In the end, he had to go to the hospital, where he learned that he had suffered 37 puncture wounds and a small fracture caused by the bite on his bicep, through People.

The fiasco began when she was at the dog park and saw “a dog running.” He wasn’t barking, nothing seemed strange, but he was alone. So I reached out to pet him and he did this weird skating motion. He moved away from me.
Bronwyn explained that the strange dog turned towards her, jumped at her and sank its teeth into one of her legs behind the knee.
She proceeded to do “everything wrong,” he admitted, saying, “I know you’re not supposed to scream, you’re not supposed to shake your arm.” I did all those things.’
The Brazilian-born reality star continued: “I totally freaked out. I’ve never been bitten by a dog before. I totally lost my mind and honestly, I think I made it worse.
Bronwyn revealed in detail: ‘He bit me behind the leg. He put me on the other side of the calf. When I tried to pull away, he touched my thigh with his other leg.
She recalled: ‘I think at that point I must have leaned forward or I was trying to push him away. He ended up grabbing my right arm very badly, where my biceps are, and held my arm. I couldn’t get him out of there.
She was ultimately saved by a good Samaritan in the park who saw the attack unfold and helped Bronwyn get the dog off her person.
‘I had 37 separate bites when I went to the emergency room. They had to do a really comprehensive overview. “I got stitches in both my arm and leg,” Bronwyn said.

“When he squeezed my bicep, he fractured it. “I had a small fracture in the bone and the bruises were very intense and throbbing,” he revealed.
‘You need to know if your dog is the type of dog that can be in a dog park. You have to keep an eye on them. If it had been an older person or someone younger than me, there could have been much more serious injuries. I’m grateful they weren’t.
She is now “healed” and is trying to prevent the bites from scarring, she shared, adding that she declined to press charges for the incident.
Sharing that the dog’s behavior had been affected by his health problems, Bronwyn said she and her husband Todd Bradley had paid to have him treated and given a new home.
Bronwyn stated that ‘the most important thing to me is that the dog is okay and I’m okay,’ although she acknowledged that ‘Honestly, even as a dog lover, they terrified me for a long time.’ You just are.’
However, she felt compassion for the dog that attacked her and said, “I felt sorry for the dog.” I have rescue dogs that have been through that.

She shared that she was “mortified” when she saw the footage on TV, insisting: “I didn’t know until I saw the episode,” to Us weekly.
In the past two years, Bronwyn’s husband, Todd Bradley, has reportedly been sued twice over allegations that his dogs attacked delivery drivers, the US Sun information.
A lawsuit was allegedly filed by an Amazon employee demanding at least $300,000, but that case was allegedly dismissed after a “mutual settlement” was reached, according to court documents.
In another alleged case, one that is still ongoing, an Instacart driver filed a lawsuit for a minimum of $60,000, alleging that one of the dogs “attacked, bit and scratched her,” and Todd reportedly filed a request to have his case dismissed with prejudice.
