Foley Dog Attack

A trip outside for the morning paper ended with a trip to the hospital for a Foley woman. She says she was attacked by her neighbor's two dogs.
Her family wants the dogs put to death but their owner syas his pets deserve another chance.
"I could just feel the dog biting me." Joannah Martin has 18 stitches in her arm after a weekend dog attack. "I could just feel them biting me oh there he goes he's biting me again and I was screaming."
What started as a typical Sunday, quickly turned into a fight for her life. The family Jack Russell woke them up barking, so she got up, put a leash on him and headed to the mailbox to get the morning newspaper. "I saw them coming, one dog coming. I scooped to pick up the dog and I think as I picked him up the other dog was right there. I saw him coming and then tumbled. I don't how we got up."
Her husband James was still sleeping but heard the commotion. "I heard screaming. It sounded like a little girl and I open the door and saw my wife on the ground being mauled."
The dogs owner, Austin Stewart, lives just two doors down from the Martins and says it was just bad circumstances that nothing like this has ever happened before. "They're loving creatures can't believe none of this has happened."
Boomer and Thunder are American Bulldogs. They are just over a year old and were home alone over the weekend. "They had opened up the latch to our private fence and got out and then the woman who got bit was walking her dog, I don't know how it all went down but basically they got in a fight with the dog and she got in the middle of it."
Stewart says he has apologized for what happened but that may not be enough. "Oh I think the dogs should be euthanized they are not salvageable," says James Martin. Stewart thinks that is an over-reaction, "I understand they're upset but to put these dogs to death is a little dramatic."
The dogs will not be euthanized they are being quarantined for 10 days. An investigation by the Sheriff's Department is underway and there is a possibility Stewart could face criminal charges.
