An 87-year-old woman credits her neighbors for saving her life when a rabid fox attacked her in the back yard of her Holly Springs home last week.
Dorothy Holland said Friday that she had been planting flowers when she saw what she thought was a small dog. By the time she realized the animal was a fox, it had attacked her.
For about 5 to 10 minutes, she fought the animal, trying to kick it off her, but every time she did, it went after the other leg.
"I thought I was going to die. I thought this was my last day," Holland said. "A lot of thoughts were going through my head. I didn't know what was going to happen, because I didn't know if anybody could hear me."
