Natasha Sims said she saw the dogs around Anderson and quickly called 911 while trying to get the dogs away from the child.
‘When I arrived, I saw his body. They literally ate him. The dogs really looked like they had eaten him alive.
‘At that moment I didn’t know if he was dead or alive. I saw nothing but bones. I saw it was really eaten,” Mims said.
When officers arrived on the scene, the dogs had already run away.
