Saving Of Boy’s Ear Seems Doubtful After Dog Attack

OHIO -- Doctors in Clark County said they are not sure if they will be able to save a boy’s ear after a dog attacked him.

The 6-year-old is in a local hospital after he was attacked by a dog while he was in his grandfather’s back yard. The incident happened in the 900 block of West Pleasant Drive in Springfield.

Police said officers arrived and were forced to shoot the dog after the dog became out of control.

The Humane Society said unneutered, male dogs are more prone to attack.
