Woosley was able to get control of the dog the second time.  Lowrance was rushed to the hospital by her father, a deputy for the Sheriff's Office.  She was transported to Carle and has undergone surgery to reattach her ear and fix her damaged arm.  Woosley was arrested for reckless conduct.  The dog was destroyed and is now being tested for rabies.
