Pattie and Jackson Taylor were helping their Catahoula Leopard puppy, Lady, recover this week from serious injuries suffered in a pitbull attack that killed the couple’s other puppy, Tramp. Two pit bulls broke into a fenced-in pen on the Taylor’s property on Ferrells Bridge Road last Thursday and attacked the puppies that the Taylors had just gotten from the county’s animal shelter a few days before. Jackson Taylor had to shoot the dogs, who were threatening to attack the Taylors.
