MOCKSVILLE, N.C. -- A Mocksville man is recovering from several bite wounds and scratches after being attacked by three boxers while he was jogging Sunday evening...
...The dogs' owner, Ralph Kimery, told WXII's Jermont Terry that the dogs have never been vicious before.
The dogs were unleashed in the back yard while his wife was outside, Kimery said. He said he had no idea why the dogs decided to attack, adding that the dogs frequently play with his grandchildren and haven't attacked on other days when Potts has run by.

Can’t be.
Must be Pit Bulls wearing Boxer disguises.
If that ain’t the pits.
Looks like we found a way to expand your horizons...
“Never been vicious before”....
They always say that. It’s like the vicious dog owner mantra.
Briefs or Boxers??
Ooh, you’re branching out into puns now? :-)
I was once attacked by a pack of golden retrievers. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to pick up a stick and throw it as far as I could. Then I ran in the other direction like hell and never looked back.
I’m from Mocksville, NC - born and raised there, live about 45 minutes away now. God’s country ...
Thats why i always jog/walk with a nice little throw away
I carry a knife when I go jogging-—fortunately never attacked by dogs but considering a possible upgrade in weaponry. Any suggestions?
Maybe he jogged towards the backyard and the wife?
They didn’t kill him. The pit bulls are probably laughing at them now. 3 on 1? no self-respecting pit bull would show his face if he let some guy live through a 3-on-1 attack.
I watched the video.. Something is not right with the owners smiling face and ‘matter-of-fact’ attitude. The woman went inside, but couldn’t she hear the dogs attacking the man? It must have been loud. What took her so long? Freakin’ Idiot dog owners.. poor dogs.. poor bitten up man.
SPRAY BOTTLE OF AMMONIA SOLUTION, or a .38 pistol.
Carry a concealed pit bull in your pocket. Should scare off the boxers.
The victim looks more like a wino than a jogger.
Something set them off.
Look-— a gay deer! Bucky ain’t too happy about it however!
It’s really hot, not a good time to put dogs outside for any length of time...heat may have played a part in this.
I really recommend the stick; it takes a little work to put together, but it's effective in several ways; it's intimidating from afar, you can smack a charging dog before it gets close enough to soil your knife, and it makes the owners of unruly ‘flexi-lead’ dogs avoid you like the plague.
I bet the dogs recognized him as the guy who snuck in their house and stole some Boones Farm Apple Wine.
I would say I can’t believe you’re making excuses for vicious dogs, but I kinda can. I just want to point out that we have a pack of dogs, confined outside, unneutered and left unattended and that led to an unprecedented attack.
As far as how the guy looks, well, I know I wouldn’t be looking my best after thirty stitches to various limbs and surgery to repair an eaten tendon...Poor guy.
I can’t imagine keeping a short-faced dog like a boxer outside in the heat of summer...We’re taking care of a stray boxer while we look for his family, and this poor guy can barely stand it when the house is over 70f.
They don’t do well in heat.
I’ve been a runner and biker for 40-some years. Been involved in several multi-dog attacks. You have to face the bastards and be ready to harm one quickly and kill the next one. Protect your gut and be ready to take a scratch and a bite.
It’s serious business and you need an attitude.

Really? You said:
Ha! Ha! Very astute observation- he does like like Farrel. I bet the dogs were just protecting their territory. They knew this guy was a booze hound
I bet the dogs recognized him as the guy who snuck in their house and stole some Boones Farm Apple Wine.
So what are you giggling about, if not that this jogger, whose appearence you disapprove of, nearly got eaten? If the owner is to be believed, the dogs have seen him before, on multiple occasions.
He said he had no idea why the dogs decided to attack, adding that the dogs...haven't attacked on other days when Potts has run by.
Watchit, Barney, or you're raw venison! |
Rev 6:8 “And I looked , and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
Just a thought....
The color must have confused the deer and that dog is not a happy camper...LOL
You’d think that even a deer could tell by smell that the dog is not it’s kind.
I’m surprised that the dog isn’t at the fawn’s throat.
Most here will suggest guns, and I can't disagree. Still, it's overkill for dogs. Something like this nice Fort Turner tomahawk will end rabid dog problems much faster than a knife will...I take mine everywhere.
The deer is a follower of diversity as ruled by the government. Screw anything that walks and breathes...
It sure seems to be taxing the dog’s patience. lol
Boxers are the 9th most dangerous dogs. This attack is a great illustration of that.
