An 80-year-old South Carolina amputee has died after he was attacked by
four dogs last week.

Carlton Freeman of Harleyville was driving his motorized wheelchair May
8 when the dogs pulled him from his chair and bit him all over his body.
He died Tuesday.

Coroner Chris Nesbit said it was a wonder that Freeman held on as long
as he did, considering the extent of his injuries.

Dorchester County Sheriff's Maj. John Garrison said three of the four
dogs were captured and are being held in a shelter. Three belonged to a
neighborhood woman and traces of blood were found. No arrests have been
made.

In April 2012, a 2-month-old child in the same county was fatally
dismembered by a dog in his home as his father slept nearby.

I don't feel good about the dogs killing people, and the news story
reminds me not to go on the trails by the Shenandoah without a sidearm.
Packs of feral dogs, soon to be moving to...South Carolina?

Side arm.... short arm... You're always grabbing at both of them. Hope
you don't confuse one for the other in a dog attack situation.
