EASTOVER, SC (WIS) - A bizarre incident happened Monday morning. A dog got on a Midlands school bus and attacked a student.
According to Karen York with Richland School District One, the dog managed to get on the bus around 6:30 in the morning in Lower Richland County. Once on the bus, the dog, believed to be a pit bull, bit a student on the foot.
The child was transported to the hospital and is expected to be OK.
The incident happened on Goffman Road in the town of Eastover around 6:30am. According to an incident report, the bus stopped to pick up the student and the dog followed him right onto the bus.
Richland County Sheriff's Department Lieutenant Chris Cowan says Richland County Animal Control is investigating the incident.
We'll post more information as it becomes available.

If they aren't sure of the breed, why even mention what it "might" have been. Stupid Media A$$holes!

Here is an update on this ridiculous story. I wrote WISNEWS10 and asked them how the had identified the dog since it has not been found. You guys should too. Just more negative puplicity when it could have been just a mix breed dog of any kind. A boy pulled the dog off of the other boy by his collar. Don't sound like a pit to me. JMO

here's another update. the owner of the dog says "the dog s a stray." he nevers says anything about the dog being a pit bull... sounds like another case of the media hyping up stuff.

SC is not a place for dogmen...they love dropping the hammer on them there.
