Boy Fine After Dog Attack

A 12-year-old boy was attacked by a dog that bit him in the neck. Tony Marcum heard the boy screaming and ran outside to help. Marcum had grabbed a knife, tried to get the dog off the boy, and ended up stabbing the dog to get him to release the boy. The boy was then taken to the hospital and underwent surgery for his wounds and is expected to leave the hospital soon. Marcum will not face any charges for stabbing the dog as it likely saved the boy's life. The dog will be quarantined for ten days and the owners may be charged for the dog attack.
