Boulevard. A 64-year-old chiropractor, McGeehan of Land O' Lakes, was putting on a knee brace when he said he was attacked by a large dog, according to Pasco County Sheriff's Office records. He told the sheriff's office that he had a run-in with the same dog about a week earlier. The wellfield park is near Pine View elementary and middle schools. McGeehan told the sheriff's office that he grabbed a machete and hunting knife from his vehicle and swung at the dog to keep it away, but more dogs came at him, records said. McGeehan thought the dogs were pit bulls, but they were actually boxers. The dogs' owner, Alan McLeod, 59, of Land O' Lakes, told the sheriff's office he was walking his three adult boxers and 13 puppies Thursday morning when he saw McGeehan screaming at the dogs with the machete and knife in his hands. ...more
