Dog attacks man having a seizure

UNIONTOWN (AP) — Police said a western Pennsylvania man died after he suffered a seizure and his dog bit his neck.

Homer Utterback’s girlfriend heard what sounded like something falling in their Uniontown home on Thursday. She found the 52-year-old on the floor with the dog, Petey, biting him.

The girlfriend told police they had the dog for about a decade and Petey was Utterback’s best friend.

Police said the dog will be put down.
