School Board to meetThursday

Teens attacked by dogs in separate incidentsseparate incidents recent-ly where teenage girls reported they had been attacked by dogs, sustain-ing minor injuries. In an incident that oc-curred on Embry Road in Leoma, the father of a sixteen year old victim re-ported to Lawrence Coun-ty Sheriff ’s deputies that he and his daughter had been walking along the roadway when they were approached by a chocolate Labrador retriever that bit the teen in the buttocks. He said that he had taken his daughter for medical attention, but that she was not seriously injured. The deputy made his way to the dog owners’ home and learned that the dog’s vaccinations were up to date. He advised the owners to keep the dog contained. In the second instance, deputies responded to a

home on Rabbit Trail Road in Leoma where a man reported that his fi fteen year old daughter had been attacked as she got off of the school bus. The teen reported that a neighbor’s dogs, a boxer and a German Shepherd, chased her from the road-way to her front porch. She said that the dogs tried to bite her but that their teeth did not make contact with her skin. They did, however, tear her pants leg and scratch her on the abdomen. When the deputy spoke with the dog owner he learned that the dogs had broken loose from their chains. He said that he had been unaware that they had broken free. He told the deputy that nei-ther dog had been vac-cinated recently. He, too, was advised to keep his dogs contained.
