Neighors tell the news channel that the dog was often very difficult to control.

“[Guadalupe] didn’t have the strength to deal with that dog,” neighbor Stephen Fox told WJBF. “That dog had muscles coming out the wazoo. When he got out occasionally, it was very hard to get back.”

According to theMacon Telegraph, the dog — an American bulldog/Great Pyrenees mix — has been taken into quarantine and will be tested for rabies. No charges have been filed in the case, but police are still investigating. It’s unclear what triggered the attack.
