Scent more important than sight to dogs.

Hunting and still couldn’t defend himself? Perhaps he should not be allowed to hold a gun.

Prayers for recovery.

Those vicious Labs. The whole breed should be destroyed.

Yeah, wearing a scent that’s “not human” while hunting is as iffy as voting for “change.” It’s good to get more specifics before committing yourself.

He was lucky he was not gummed to death.

Hunting “off the road” doesn't tell us if he was trespassing onto their property. If so, then he got what he had coming although animal control won't see it that way.

I know that area, on the back side of Hanging Rock State Park. An outside access area to the park’s Lower Cascade Falls is on Hall Rd. Pretty area, all privately held with the exception of the parking area for that access. Nice views well into Virginia. Large farms, large stretches of woodland, a few “estates,” a few modes houses and a few mobile homes.

Not very populated. Dogs typically aren’t fenced, but know “their” territory. Either those weren’t full Labs or he set them off somehow. Even high-prey field-bred Labs aren’t going to maul somebody without provocation.

As the owner of a 70-pound Lab who backs off from our 9-pound cat when it’s just trying to rub on him, I can’t get my brain around the idea of Labs mauling someone.

Somebody should do a lab report and find out if someone didn’t switch scents on him and he smelled more like a t-bone steak. Thus the reason for the attack.
