[News: The Woods]
[Tonight, local scanners erupt with chatter when a trucker calls in a woman found bleeding out on Hare Road, down in the woods. Based on tattered remains of a leash looped around a wrist, she appears to have been out for a late-night dog walk, though the animal in question is nowhere to be found. Lacking ID, identification of the unconscious woman comes from the first responder—a ranger from the nearby lookout—as a neighbor and friend of his family. Based on the circumstantial evidence, the incident is reported as a dog attack, and the woman's missing pitbull is immediately suspect. But intrepid town gossip passes around the details not seen in the public report: the EMT who suggests the wounds are far too large for the average dog, and significant animal blood also found at the scene.
The woman remains in serious condition at the local hospital. Deputies and rangers conduct a search come daybreak, but the "dog" is presumed still at large. Local authorities issue warnings against camping and hunting in the woods until the animal is found, and crack down on leash laws this week.]
