A Texas man was hospitalized and his two dogs were left dead after a swarm of killer bees attacked them, stinging the Texan over 50 times and his dogs over 1,000.
James Roy thought his dogs were fighting, but when he stepped into his yard in the city of Midland on Thursday, he could see they were being attacked by a swarm of bees.
"He opened the door and a swarm of bees just came towards him" Roy's son told
KWES.
Luckily for Roy, his neighbors were nearby and managed to spray him with a hose, dispersing the bees.
His two dogs, Sammy and Susie, were not so lucky, however, and died the following day,
having suffered over 1,000 stings. The dogs had been rescued by Roy and his family in 2015.
