Frightful Dog Attack Kills Boy in Georgia Field
In Georgia on April 26 a nine year old boy, son of Flarrison Barlow, was found mangled after being attacked by dogs while hunting with a bow and arrow. Neighbors aided a search. James Mullis found the boy in a sunlit field about 300 yards from home. The body showed extreme wounds from bites and clawing, with blood and torn clothing scattered. The boy whispered that a dog bit him, then died shortly after. Evidence suggested several dogs fought the body, dragging it across plowed ground and through rough terrain before death.
