GRAYSON COUNTY, Tex. ― Animals running loose are often a nuisance and sometimes dangerous. Sherwood Shores residents claim vicious dogs are attacking pets in their neighborhood. Rita Kotey has the story.

Residents say they have consistently seen at least nine dogs roaming the neighborhood, and on one occasion they've seen as many as forty-two.

They say people bring dogs that are sick or have mange and dump those dogs in their neighborhood.

Neighbors say the dogs travel in packs, and kill their own pets by tearing them apart.

They say this has been going on for the past six months, and at least five of their pets, and a cow, have been killed.

Sherwood Shores resident Carol Parnell says she is concerned for the safety of her children.

"They live right here down the street here from where I live, and they've become a vicious dog pack. They've killed everybody's dog in the neighborhood off and on several dogs around here. They’ve attacked the livestock down the street."

Parnell, along with other residents, says that they have contacted Grayson County's animal services to come and capture the dogs, but they are still waiting for that to happen.
