“And then the other dog jumped in with him. One of them was a pit, and the other was a pit of mixed breed, and they killed him. They got everything on bands down there,” he said.

The police shot and killed one of the dogs for the first respondents to come to Phillips and treat him, but he died at the scene, North Mississippi Herald And Britain’s newspaper The Independent reported.

Philips had worked on animal welfare for two years when he was attacked. He moved with his family to Water Valley from his home state Wisconsin in 2007, according to his obituary.

“His silent and thoughtful behavior helped him promote a love for animals,” it says. “And he pointed out that he often felt more comfortable around his pets than around people, perhaps reminded of the time he spent with Eon, his beloved childhood dog … He will be much missed by everyone who knew and loved him.”

A memory guest was held for Philips at Sylva Rena Baptist Church in Mississippi on July 24.
