West Virginia: 70-year-old man injured in Randolph County dog attack

WEST VIRGINIA -- Officials say a 70-year-old man was injured after a pack of dogs attacked him near his Randolph County home.

Diane Ware says that her husband, Don Ware, was walking Tuesday morning in Valley Head when three dogs attacked him, injuring his legs before their unidentified owner called the animals off.

Don Ware was transported to a hospital, where he had surgery and was released.

Officials said Wednesday that the Randolph County Sheriff's Office and county dog warden are actively seeking the dogs so they can be taken into custody during the investigation.

Randolph County Sheriff Mark Brady says authorities are conducting a full investigation into the incident. He says the dog warden has also made him aware of prior incidents involving the animals.
