Dogs Attack Boy in GA

This story is from Athens, GA where 3 dogs were loose when a 13 year old was headed home. The child ran after becoming frightened by the dogs and they gave chase and attacked. This is a common scenario in many dog attacks - dogs in groups experience heightened pack drives making them far more likely to chase and attack.

The story mentions the dogs were from a home where someone may have attempted a break in. In other words, the dogs may have gotten loose after a door was forced open. Police are investigating. 2 of the dogs were small terriers, the 3rd a pitbull. The owner says they had no history of violence.
