“For them to give me one for life means I go catch as many lobsters as I want,” Webre-Hayes told reporters.
Webre-Hayes stayed in the hospital for a week after the attack, KNSD reported.
The Wags and Waves event featured K-9 animals and wildlife officers who enforce fish, wildlife, and habitat laws.
