Four-year-old boy loses his hand after dog bites it off 😲
A DOG bit off a four-year-old boy's entire hand and ate it after he stuck it under his fence to pet a husky.
The boy had a sock on his arm when he put it in a gap between the ground and a fence in his back garden on Sunday, Layton Fire Battalion Chief Jason Cook said.The boy was airlifted from his home in Layton, Utah, and flown to Salt Lake City where he had emergency surgeryThe boy's father tried desperately to limit the bleeding and comfort his son until emergency workers arrived at their home in Layton, Utah.Officials said he was doing well, and is expected to survive.
Officials have not determined if the dog will be put down or listed as a dangerous dog, he said, with an investigation underway. It was the animal's first reported bite, and Cook said in his 30 years on the job he had never seen such a serious injury from a dog bite."It's certainly life-changing. It's just a sad turn of events for the young, little guy.It's not known if the dog's owners will face legal consequences.
The dogs were properly fenced in at the house in a neighbourhood in Layton, a city of about 80,000 residents about 25 miles north of Salt Lake City, the firefighter said.Cook said he doesn't know if the boy was right-handed or not but that he should be able to adapt because he's so young.
