Neighbor Recounts Dog Attack on South Carolina Boy
According to WYFF, Lowe’s neighbor, a woman named Natasha Mims who identified herself as the boy’s mother, said she knew he was in need of help because of the presence of four large dogs.
Mims said the boy was lying on his stomach with what appeared to be the back half of his leg eaten off. She said when she pulled up, the boy said he couldn’t move and asked her to look at him.
Lowe also said she was on her way to the elementary school to drop off her son, 6, when the dogs charged. She said Natasha called her on Facebook Messenger, yelling for Red to come home. “Natasha said, ‘Red, Red,’ and Mims said, ‘Come here,’ and I didn’t know what to do.”
As per GoFundMe page started by a family friend, Lowe has four children and the boy’s nickname is “Red.” The crowdfunding page has so far raised $485 of its 10,000 goal of $50,000.
