SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Greene County sherff's deputies are investigating a dog attack that hurt two children. They say a 5-year-old boy and 15-year-old girl were bitten Wednesday night in what the family calls an unprovoked attack by their boxer mix inside their home on North O'Hara Avenue, just north of Springfield.
Because the children were bitten by their own dog in their own home, it will be up to the family to decide what happens to the pet. Springfield-Greene County Animal Control officers recommend a 10-day quarantine to see if the dog shows signs of rabies.
The children suffered cuts, their parents took them to a hospital in Springfield for treatment. Deputies say the family recently purchased the dog from a friend.
