Family Dogs Maul 8-Year-Old Boy to Death in North Carolina

An 8-year-old child was mauled to death by two family dogs over the Thanksgiving weekend in Onslow County, North Carolina. Deputies responded to a 911 call about a dog attacking a minor. Responding to law enforcement, deputies found the young boy with “bite marks on the neck.” They performed life-saving measures while they transported him to the Naval Medical Center at Camp Lejeune, where he later died from his injuries.

Investigators report that the child and his siblings were letting the dogs out of the house into the backyard to use the background when the pitbull and great Dane mixes attacked them. Before the attack, family members stated the dogs never showed any signs of aggression. They were not known to the County Animal Control office or local law enforcement before the mauling.
