(Hudson Lake, IN) - The way a La Porte County woman had her hair done might be why she escaped serious injury.  The 45 year old woman was attacked by a dog over the weekend.   

According to La Porte County Police, Tamie Vanlue was walking up to her sister’s house late Friday afternoon on 850 East near Hudson Lake.  She was knocked to the ground by a neighbor’s dog.  Police say the Boxer clamped down on her hair which she had in a bun.  The bun was in his mouth as the dog shook it like a chew toy, police said.

According to police, the woman sustained only scratches from the nails in the dog’s paw.  The case was given to animal control to further investigate.
