PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A woman found in critical condition outside of a Downtown Pittsburgh parking garage was attacked by her own dog, police said. 

According to Pittsburgh Public Safety, just after 4 a.m., police were alerted to a woman who was seriously hurt outside of a parking garage on Cherry Way and the Boulevard of the Allies. She was taken to the hospital in critical condition. 

At first, police would only say that she was found injured, but in an update on Friday afternoon, they said video evidence shows the victim was attacked by her own dog and then fell several times afterward. 

Police said she is now conscious and recovering at the hospital.

The dog was taken to Humane Animal Rescue.
