When I woke up, they bit my hip. Then I slowly stood up. All the blood was dripping onto my face. I couldn't see in front of me. A man took me to the doctor."
Bayo, stating that she was very scared of the attack, said, "I was very scared during the incident; I couldn't sleep at night. Let the dogs be gathered in one place, put them in cages. I don't want them to bite anyone else."

Evin's cousin, Muhammed Bağ, said that the dogs bit Evin while they were trying to escape. Bağ stated that bystanders drove the dogs away by stoning them and took Evin to the hospital. He also expressed that they were very scared and there was nothing they could do.
Grandfather Bahri Bayo stated that he came to Suruç as soon as he heard the news while he was working in Mersin, and that he took care of his granddaughter. Bayo, requesting that the stray dogs be collected, noted the following:
"They put a lot of stitches. Two nurses only finished her stitches in 45 minutes. We also want the authorities to collect these stray dogs. Let them not bite anyone else. If the man passing by on that road hadn't come across the child, they would have killed her. The municipality doesn't care much about this issue. Everywhere is full of stray dogs."
