WILLARD, Mo. (KY3) – A man is in the hospital after a dog attack at a school bus stop in Willard Friday morning.
A neighbor tells KY3 the dog was a stray her neighbors had just taken in Thursday night. On Friday morning, the neighbor says the kids took the dog to the bus stop.
There, the kids and the dog were playing around when the dog started to bite one of the children and became aggressive.
The neighbor, Jeanie Sullivan, then called 911, as a man driving by stopped to help.
“A man jumped out of the car and I just heard a commotion. This little girl was screaming. I thought she’d been run over, but it wasn’t that at all. He was wrestling a pit bull dog to get it off of her, and I saw him come around the back of the car with the pit bull wrestling with the dog. He brought it onto the driver’s side and put the dog up against the car to put pressure on the dog, to kind of hold him, get control of him, and he was biting him,” says Sullivan. “The man had his hands full. And he finally got the dog down on the ground, was holding him down, finally. He was screaming for help. And as I came out the door, I ran; I had my phone calling 911 as I ran down there. And then, finally, the man held the dog down until authorities got here to get help.”
The man received multiple bites on his arms, legs, and face. He was taken to the hospital.
The dog was taken away by animal control.
The people who found the dog Thursday did share information about the dog found to Leigh’s Lost and Found.
