2000 block Westbrook La.Victim(s)
Male, age 4, MadisonDetails
A 4-year old boy was attacked by his neighbor's 11-month old pit bull Saturday afternoon after the dog broke free from its leash. The child suffered multiple puncture wounds to his head, hands, back, and buttocks. His mother came to his rescue and the dog's owner took control of the pit bull. The 46-year old man was very distraught over the attack and said he had placed the dog outside, on the leash, in order for it to use the bathroom. He said it had no past history of aggression or violence. The pet owner voluntarily surrendered the dog to a animal control (Animal Services, Public Health- Madison & Dane County) officer. The child was treated at a local hospital and released.Released 09/18/2012 at 3:30 PM by PIO Joel DeSpain
