Blount County Sheriff deputies responded to a dog attack in Seymour last Friday that put a three-year-old girl in intensive care.
Sheriff James Berrong indicated in a statement that the girl is in stable condition at the University of Tennessee Medical Center after being mauled by six dogs in the head, face, neck and throat.
The girl’s mother, Jennifer Compton, told police that she and her daughter were playing in the yard with the dogs at the residence of James Earl Morris, the dog owner whose son is dating Compton. 
Compton indicated that she went inside for a glass of water, leaving the girl alone, and returned to find the dogs on top of her daughter, who was bleeding profusely.  She pulled the dogs off and called for help.
The dogs, poodles and pit bull mixes, have been quarantined on the property while awaiting a follow-up by Blount County Animal Control.  So far, no new information has been released.
“The investigation is still open, and we are not releasing the report right now,” said Marian O’Briant, Blount County Sheriff’s Public Information Officer.
No criminal charges have been filed.
