A 911 call reporting a dog attack turned into a daring rescue, after an animal control officer discovered a man being mauled by a “dangerous” dog, North Carolina investigators say.
The incident happened just after noon Tuesday, Jan. 20, on Springwood Road in Asheboro, and another dog was also attacked at the scene, police said.
