Tina Meyers is resting a bit easier.
News that animal control officers say they caught the two dogs that attacked her daughter at a sledding hill has her breathing a sigh of relief.
"She's happier now that she doesn't have any more shots," said Meyers.
News 10 wasn't allowed inside the kennel, but animal control says the dogs will be quarantined for ten days to monitor their behavior. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation, and tracked down both dogs-- a Pitbull and Bull Mastiff.
"I think it's a little appalling to the citizens, and we appreciate the phone calls," said Jackson County Undersheriff Tom Finco.
Finco says the owner of the dogs could face charges of obstruction and hindering the investigation for not cooperating with authorities. He went on to add that four dogs have been shot by authorities this year due to attacks.
"The majority of them have been pit bulls," said Finco. "If i was the parent of the child that was injured I'd have some hard feelings."
Tina says the worst is over even with the dogs quarantined.
"She had to go through the trauma of being attacked, and then sitting in the ER for five and half hours, and then becoming a pin cushion," said Meyers. "I mean she had eight shots."
Shots Tina's hoping she'll get some remorse from the dogs' owners over.
"They took off there. They weren't concerned then, so I can't imagine they'd be concerned any now," said Meyers.
