Woman Bitten By 2 Dogs In Bartow County
The woman was bitten on her hands when she tried to break up a fight between her two dogs, emergency first responders said.
WHITE, GA -- A woman was transported to an area hospital Thursday morning after she was bitten by her dogs while trying to separate them during a scuffle.
Bartow County EMS crews responded to the call of the attack at the home off Kay Road in White. They arrived to find the woman suffering from "multiple dog bites," said Bartow EMS spokesperson Brad Cothran.
Cothran said the two dogs, which belonged to the woman, began fighting and when she tried to separate them, she was bitten a few times on her hands (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts. Or, if you have an iPhone, download the free Patch app).

One bite was located on the same hand that underwent surgery at WellStar Kennestone Hospital, so crews transported the woman to that hospital for treatment, Cothran added.
