OHIO -- The Champaign County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an incident where a man was bitten by several dogs.
The incident happened on July 5 at a home in the 200 block of Jefferson Avenue in Urbana.
Deputies were called to the home on the report of a dog bite. Upon arrival, deputies found a 70-year-old man injured.
The victim claims that his neighbor’s dog, which deputies called two pit bulls and two husky mixes, attacked his dog named Wiggles.
The victim, Scott Shafner, said he intervened and tried to get the dogs to stop attacking Wiggles. He said the dogs bit him on the hand.
Shafner said he managed to get away from the attacking dogs and was treated at a local hospital.
The owner of the dogs was charged with having dogs running at large. The health department is also investigating the case.
