Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A US woman whose nose was severely injured by an attacking dog says her husband bit the animal to make it stop assaulting her.
Caren and Laine Henry told The Des Moines Register that a 50-lb Labrador cross ran out of a yard in rural Madrid, Iowa and attacked them while they were walking their pet beagle.
Caren Henry says the dog bit her abdomen and right thigh, scratched at her eyes, then clamped onto her nose, tearing it off. She says her husband was bit on an arm when he tried to help her.
Her husband "finally had to bite the dog in its nose, and it let loose."
The Register says the county doesn't have a vicious-dog law.
