CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A 3-year-old child was severely injured after a dog attacked them in northeast Charlotte.
The incident happened on Monday just before 9 p.m. on Monday on Cameron Commons Parkway, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD).
Police say a group of children was playing with three dogs outside when two of the dogs playfully knocked the victim to the ground. The third dog then bit the victim and dragged them down the driveway, according to police.
Adult witnesses attempted to stop the attack. Two people fired gunshots near the dog, which caused the dog to stop.
The child suffered serious injuries in the incident. The dog was surrendered to CMPD Animal Care and Control and placed in a 10-day rabies quarantine period. The dog will be euthanized after the quarantine period, according to CMPD.
CMPD is continuing to investigate this incident. Police advise parents to closely supervise children around dogs.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Exactly.
Same here.
It is improper grammar.
Yes!
Actually, “was” is correct here. The collective noun “group” calls for the singular form “was”; the plural “children” is just part of the phrase modifying “group.”
Dog’s more like Bears...
Makes sense.

"Them" indicates plural. Frantic to avoid mentioning the sex of the child, the journo-morons use it as a singular.
Fearing a visit from the pronoun police, no doubt.
