George Campion, 25, laborer, saved an indeterminate child or children from a rabid dog, Baltimore, Maryland, March 10, 1914. Campion saw the dog bite one of a group of children, and he pursued it, knowing from its behavior that there was something wrong with it and fearing for the lives of other children. It attacked another man as Campion followed it, and it turned on Campion when he attracted its attention by stoning it. It sprang against his chest, but he knocked it to the ground with his fist and then threw himself flat upon it, his chest on its head. Before he could seize its throat, it bit him twice, but he held it until others arrived and killed it. Campion and the other persons bitten took the Pasteur treatment and suffered no serious effects. 12766-1321
