Lucy G. Edwards, 37, nurse, rescued Garnett Andrews, Jr., 7, from a rabid dog, Chattanooga, Tennessee, May 21, 1912. Mrs. Edwards warned Garnett and other children not to leave the house because of the dog, which was known to be mad and at large. While she was temporarily absent, Garnett went out on a porch, and the dog made its appearance. Mrs. Edwards saw the dog enter the house and ran to the room into which it had followed Garnett. She was about to push Garnett through the door when the dog fastened its teeth in the seat of his trousers. She dropped to her knees and grabbed the back of the dog’s neck with both hands. It turned and bit her hand. She held the dog about a minute until her husband arrived and killed it. She was disabled three weeks. 8653-767
