Two Women Attacked By Two Dogs, One Hospitalized

Two women from Johnson City, Tennessee sustained personal injuries after being attacked by a pair of dogs on September 1. One of the women required hospitalization for her injuries.

Police say the attack occurred shortly after 3:15 at the home of Angela Davis.

According to Johnson City Police Officer J. Wilson, 50-year-old Barbara London entered an open gate and had begun walking toward Davis’ front door when Davis’ dogs, a pit bull and a Blue Heeler mix, attacked her.

Davis, 41, exited her home and attempted to stop her dogs, but they attacked her as well. Both women received transport to Johnson City Medical Center. Davis was later released, but London remained, though she was listed in good condition.

According to Washington County-Johnson City Animal Control Center director Debbie Dobbs, London sustained extensive bite wounds to her feet, legs, buttocks, side, arm, chest, and ear. Davis sustained injuries to her legs and feet, including a large piece of flesh being torn from her calf.

According to Animal Control Officer Wayne Thomas, the pit bull, a female, was in heat and Davis was attempting to allow them to breed when the attack took place.

Both dogs were euthanized.
