The husband of an Arizona town’s former mayor, himself a popular high school teacher, was mauled to death Saturday by the family dog.
Thomas Vick, 64, husband of former Bullhead City mayor Diane Vick, died in a hospital from wounds suffered after being attacked by the family’s boxer. Ms Vick, 65, was injured in the attack.

The boxer and a cocker spaniel were fighting Saturday night when the Vicks tried to intervene. The cocker spaniel licked its wounds and sulked away, the boxer did not.
Both were flown to a hospital in Las Vegas, about 90 miles to the north.
