MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- A father in Rutherford County killed a black lab that attacked his 5-year-old boy.

The boy’s father, Adam Alig, said he shot the black Labrador retriever after it attacked.

“My oldest son, he saw it. There were a couple of other kids from the neighborhood that saw it,” Alig said.

Alig said he could hear the children screaming while he was working at a house next to his mother’s.

“I didn’t really know what else to do. I was too scared to let go of the dog because he had already chewed on me a couple of times. I couldn’t let him go get to the other kids,” he said.

Alig’s son, Blain, required 20 stitches after the attack. He was bitten on his nose, hands and eye.

“Spirit wise, I guess he’s what you expect,” Alig said of Blain’s injuries.

Alig’s 6-year-old nephew, Anthony, was there and said he tried to protect his cousin.

Anthony said he tried to help Blain “so the dog wouldn’t bit him again.”

The dog belonged to family that did not live in the neighborhood.

That is certainly very strange for a Lab to do such a thing. Was it rabid? :-[
