Mark, 14, was attacked by two Rottweilers, each weighing more than 80 pounds, after he went to the aid of a young girl who was being attacked by the dogs in a neighbor’s yard. One of the dogs bit him on the arm as he attempted to fight them off. Another neighbor, Hudson, a retired factory worker who was five days from his 80th birthday, responded with a stick he had obtained from his woodpile and struck one of the dogs. When a police officer approached about then, the dogs turned on the officer, who shot both of them. The dogs fled but were tracked down and dispatched. Mark and the girl were taken to the hospital, where they were treated for their bite wounds. They recovered.
