A Hidalgo County woman issued a Call 4 Action after her daughter was attacked by a neighbor’s pitbull but authorities can't find the animal.

Yolanda Camarena told Action 4 News that her neighbor's pitbull was wandering their street.

The dog allegedly saw her daughters Samantha and Sabrina and charged them.

The pitbull allegedly bit her younger daughter Sabrina on the back of her thigh.

"I just heard like the dog coming and it ran and it bite me and it dropped me to the floor,” Sabrina told Action 4 News.

Samantha was able to scare the animal away but the neighbor is now claiming the dog is not his and the pitbull is missing.

In the meantime, animal control is looking for the pitbull to prevent someone else from getting seriously hurt.

Authorities still don't know if the dog has had its rabies shots.
