A deadly swarm of bees terrorized a California family on Thursday - injuring two people and killing four dogs who were stung more than 300 times.
The hive engulfed Sinthia Sullivan when she tried to rescue her beloved hairless terrier Evolve and her three puppies around 11am at her trailer on Parkridge Avenue in Norco, California.
She and her 70-year-old landlord were stung several dozen times and were taken to the hospital. Firefighters also rescued an eight-year-old girl from the attack who was unharmed.

This deadly swarm of bees terrorized a California community on Thursday - injuring two people and killing four dogs who were stung more than 300 times
Firefighters had to don protective suits to combat the swarm, and sprayed the area with a foam that suffocates the bees in order to stop the attack
'This [dog] is my life line,' Sullivan told .
'If this dog passes, I will be in the hospital myself, trying to stay alive.'
Sullivan refused medical treatment herself to seek help for four-year-old Evolve, who passed away shortly after being taken to an animal hospital by a good Samaritan chest pain after swallowing pill rescue crews wouldn't transport her themselves.
All three of her puppies, who were just a month old, also died.
Authorities believe the dogs may have aggravated the bees in some way to provoke the attack.
The landlord's son Marcus Cordero says he was also stung about 30 times by the aggressive bees, who were living in a tree just above where the dogs slept.
