The founder of the Tipton-based international activist group Dogs Deserve Better has found herself in some more legal trouble after being attacked by one of her own dogs.
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture says 42-year-old Tammy Grimes was attacked by a 75-pound black chow in her kitchen Wednesday morning. Grimes was bitten in three different places and the seriousness of wounds required her to be taken to the Altoona Regional Health System by ambulance.
Grimes told investigators that a dispute over food led to the attack. The dog was taken to the Central Pennsylvania Human Society, where it was euthanized Thursday. Dog law enforcement officials were called to investigate the attack, and later cited Grimes because the dog was not licensed. Agriculture officials are investigating whether or not more dogs living in Grime's care are unlicensed.
Grimes is scheduled to appear in Blair County Court next month after admitting to removing a dog named Jake from the home of an East Freedom couple last September. Grimes says the couple left the dog tied up outside and in pain. She called the removal of Jake an act of compassion, but police say she stole.
