In Fort Worth health officials are worried about the number of animals attacking people. So far this year, they've had more than 750 dog bites and the problem is only getting worse.
Fort Worth has a campaign going to urge people to watch their pets.
Barry Alexander spends his day tracking down animals that have attacked people. He works for Fort Worth Animal Control and the agency is so concerned about dog bites it's gotten a grant to study the problem. The city has been looking into all bite cases and determined the majority of those attacks have ended with people being hospitalized. Lupe Flores was one of those victims. A neighborhood dog attacked Lupe while he walked to school.
