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.

I guess they 'just snapped'...

Can’t be.

Must be Pit Bulls wearing Boxer disguises.

[JoeProBono]

If that ain’t the pits.

Looks like we found a way to expand your horizons...

[LongElegantLegs]

They're so sneaky that way! Swiper likes to masquerade as an area rug...

“Never been vicious before”....

They always say that. It’s like the vicious dog owner mantra.

"Must be Pit Bulls wearing Boxer disguises.

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?

[Duchess47]

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.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Carry a concealed pit bull in your pocket. Should scare off the boxers.

[Krankor]

The victim looks more like a wino than a jogger.

[Hillbillary]

I guess they 'just snapped'.

Something set them off.

Exactly. That guy definately does not look like a jogger. No tan, etc. Looks like Mike Farrel (MASH) with a hangover...
