6-year-old meets rescuer

The Biloxi Sun Herald ID's good samaritan

BILOXI, Miss. -- A 6-year-old girl in Gulfport who was badly injured by a pit pull more than a week ago got to meet the man who saved her this week.

After Biloxi television station WLOX aired a story about the attack on little Katie Jarmen, Katie's parents said they wanted to meet the man who rescued Katie by grabbing her and putting her in his truck. The pit bull had mangled the girl's arm as she and her mother were walking home from school.

The rescuer turned out to

be Thomas Wedgeworth of Gulfport.

Katie has had one surgery so far on the arm and will probably need more. But for now, she's well enough to open the presents Wedgeworth's daughters picked for her.
