A vicious dog attack caught on camera is renewing calls for a change in New York City's laws. Penny, a chihuahua mix, was mauled Saturday night on the Upper West Side, police said. Penny is now in intensive care, but the owners of the dogs who attacked likely won't face any serious criminal charges.

A small dog is recovering back at home with her owners after a vicious attack by a much larger canine on an Upper West Side street, and the near-deadly mauling is prompting calls for more to be done to protect pets in similar incidents.
