Help dog bite victim

A fund to help Mike Moore, a Granite Falls man who suffered a nearly fatal infection after being bitten by his dog Sadie, has been established at KeyBank.

Moore was hospitalized for weeks with the infections and doctors were forced to amputate both legs below the knee, one hand and part of another hand.

He was profiled in The Herald on Friday. To read about him, go to cmg-northwest2.go-vip.net/heraldnet/mikemoore.

The fund is in the name of his son, Levi Moore. Donations may be made at any KeyBank.
