Tennessee teen severely injured in dog attack
UNDATED -- A 15-year-old boy in Tennessee is recovering from an animal attack. He was mauled by a pack of pit bulls.
Paul Brown was jumped on a McMinn County road by at least 15 of the dogs.
He ran into a nearby field for safety, and with the dogs biting at his feet, arms and neck, signaled frantically for help.
A neighbor saw Brown waving from a fence post and fought the dogs off.
Brown was taken to the hospital to have his wounds and gashes treated.
Police are now on the hunt for the pit bulls.
Brown's father says that the county has a serious animal control problem.
