Pet Dog Killed in Bee Attack on Family

By The Associated Press

(9/07/04 - IRVING, TX) — Members of a Dallas-area family are
wondering how soon they'll be able to go home after a swarm of bees
attacked them in their backyard.

KTVT TV in Dallas-Fort Worth reports the Queen family managed to
reach safety in their house Monday in Irving. But their pet boxer was
tied to a tree in the backyard and was stung at least 600 times.

Irving firefighters arrived and used foam to repel the hundreds of
bees enough for the family to escape their captivity.

The dog was taken to a veterinarian, where it was put down. The
family is still trying to find a way to rid themselves of the swarm.
