Banner O’Berry, an 11-year-old boy from Atkinson, Georgia, sustained 17 open wounds after being attacked by three dogs while playing outside with a friend. The attack occurred when O’Berry's four-wheeler broke down and the dogs approached them aggressively; he fought back using pliers until his friends could intervene. After surgery at Coffee Regional Medical Center, O’Berry made it to a football game in a wheelchair a week later. The Atkinson County Sheriff’s Office is holding the dogs for 10 days and pursuing legal action to declare them vicious animals.
