I was screaming and kicking, but the beasts were like piranhas attacking him relentlessly. I picked up a stick and began swinging it in all directions and finally scared them off.

Dr. Wise's Take
I once owned a practice with an unusually high population of dachshund patients.  In fact, the day I opened, it was a wiener in need of a blood transfusion who walked through the door first.  In that practice, I saw more doxies than any other breed, and over the years I learned to expect these silly little dogs to appear in packs.  Despite this, I was entirely unprepared for this tale from Texas.
