DANBURY, N.C. — The assistant chief of the Danbury Volunteer Fire Department is in intensive care at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center after being mauled by two Labrador retrievers, officials said Thursday.
Bobby Jones was attacked about 8 p.m. Wednesday while hunting off Hall Road.
He was bitten more than 40 times, WGHP/FOX 8, the newsgathering partner of the Journal, reported.
The dogs were up to date on their shots, their owners said, and have been surrendered to animal control.
Firefighters are planning a fundraising dinner tonight to help Jones’ family. The dinner starts at 7:30 p.m. and will be held at the Danbury Volunteer Fire Department, 102 Old Church Road in Danbury.
