Baby dog-bite victim back at home Pit bull euthanized Thursday morning By Donna HalesPhoenix Staff Writer A police report stated the dog’s rabies vaccination were not current. A veterinarian told police it had been approximately two years since the dog had been vaccinated.
A woman who has lived behind the baby’s home for the last 60 years, Novella Gaston, 86, said the pit bulls in the neighborhood arrived about a year ago. Her son was home from Eufaula and told his mother to call the police because there were a lot of them all at once. Several had to be taken away so no more than three would be at a residence, she said. The dogs have no pens but are on chains. Gaston has a fence around her property, and said she is not too afraid to go into her yard. But she won’t walk in the neighborhood. “I don’t walk since the dogs have been over there,” she said. “I couldn’t fight a dog if one attacked me. I’m recovering from back surgery. “I hear the dogs barking out there.” No one answered the door at the Mitchell home Thursday.
