Dog attacks are more common than many people realize.

A dog that disfigures or even kills someone isn't required to be euthanized.

The owner is likely to pay a fine that's little more than a traffic ticket.

But a 9-month investigation by the Columbus Dispatch could change that.

We're talking with the reporter who broke the story and two people whose lives changed forever after vicious dog attacks.

Guests:

Laura Bischoff, reporter, The Columbus Dispatch
Eva Simons, dog attack survivor
Drew Russell, mother of girl who was attacked by a dog
Matt Granito, past president, Ohio County Dog Wardens Association
