In Warrenton North Carolina an 11 year old girl Linda Hardy suffered a deep scalp injury when a Doberman pinscher named Rusty attacked her in a neighbor’s yard. Doctors grafted an eight inch skin patch onto Linda’s scalp in a three hour operation. The dog’s owners Sam and Mrs Bug are away on vacation and the family may request the dog be euthanized. Linda’s father H M Hardy said the patch was removed from the yard and grafted soon after the incident. Ginger Tucker, a playmate, witnessed the attack and said Linda patted the dog before it bit her. The dog has shown no rabies symptoms to date. doctors warned the blood supply may affect graft success.
