Boy Receives 20 Stitches After Dog Bite

A nine year old Washington boy needed twenty stitches to close a gash in his face after he was bitten by a neighborhood dog.

The boy was walking in his neighborhood when a dog knocked him over and started biting him on his face. According to his mother, the border collie mix “tore up his face.” She added that “he has chunks of his arm missing and bite marks on his stomach.”

Authorities have found the dog and are keeping it chained at a kennel for observation. There is no word on whether the owner of the dog or the dog’s keepers will be sued over the attack.
