Thomas Scott, 97, was in his backyard at 503 Court St. when a black Lab-mix attacked him. Scott said the dog bit him on his leg as he was walking in his yard, and he had to use his walker to get the dog off.
In a report by Crawford County Deputy Sheriff Eddie Weber, who responded to the incident, Scott was in his residence when Weber arrived and had sustained a severe laceration to his leg. Crawford County EMS treated the victim at the scene, and he was transported to Harrison County Hospital in Corydon. It required 11 stitches to close the wound.
After an investigation, Weber determined the dog belonged to Brandy Brooks, 25, who lived nearby at 601 Court St. The dog was not secured and was allowed to run loose. Brooks, according to police, admitted that she let the dog run loose while she was at work. She was advised that the dog must be secured on the property until a quarantine is complete and the animal checked.

I read your about me page......like what you wrote !!!!!
wassup, have dogs been taken over by aliens? This is like the 3 or 4 post in 10 minutes.
Can somebody tell me, what is with all these dog stories?
What gives?
Hey, sorry. I got them in bulk, so I wanted to post them before going back to my coursework. Feel free to ignore if it isn’t your style.
Thanks! It hasn’t been updated in a while...
You don’t like dogs huh? Are you a cat?
Why do you post multiple stories about dog attacks? Is there a conservative issue associated with these posts?
In case you haven’t noticed, some other FReepers like to post any story they can find about Pit Bull attacks, while a coterie of posters demand that the dogs be banned. I think that solo is deftly pointing out that any breed of dogs can be made to look bad, if you search out stories of them behaving badly.
