ATLANTA (AP) Tracking dogs managed to chase down and attack a 400-pound wild hog that has been scaring children and adults in a Dekalb County neighborhood this week. <br /> <br /> The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that after the dogs attacked, a hunter stabbed it to death Thursday night in the neighborhood near Lithonia. The subdivision is about 17 miles east of downtown Atlanta. <br /> <br /> Authorities have said as many as four feral hogs have been roaming the DeKalb County neighborhood for several days. <br /> <br /> The south Georgia hunters who killed the animal said the hog probably is the only one in the area, but neighbors said they have seen more than one.<br /> <br /> An exterminating firm has been hired to search for remaining pigs in the area.
