Dog attacks children in DeKalb County


GEORGIA -- Police are investigating after two children were attacked by a dog near Big Springs Road in DeKalb County.

DeKalb police tell CBS Atlanta that someone was walking their dog on a leash when two children, ages six and seven, came over to pet the dog.

At some point the 7-year-old was bit in the face, and the 6-year-old was bit as well.

Looks like a Chow/Akita mix

Both were taken to Egleston Hospital.

Animal Control is on scene speaking with owner of the dog.
