By The Mountain Enterprise staff

Shelley Andrews of Encino Trail in Frazier Park heard a child’s cries on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 24. Andrews ran outside, where she saw a small girl trying to retrieve two pit bull-mix dogs that had escaped from their home.

As Andrews was trying to help corral the dogs, she was attacked, sustaining a bloody tear…

The Magill family: (l-r) Kenshi, Lola, Thor (front), Blackie (back), Crystal and Skylar. Thor and Kenshi got out last week. A neighbor got a bad bite.

A loose dog, a bad bite, a stay in a hospital…what can we learn?

Shelley Andrews just wanted to help, but she ended up in the hospital with a severe dog bite. She shows pictures from the hospital of the wound that took 37 staples to close. The main dog that attacked, Thor, is quarantined by Kern County Animal Services.

Shelley Andrews shows photos and hospital records.
