BATTLE CREEK, MI -- A young boy has been released from the hospital after he was attacked by a neighbor's dog in Battle Creek.
Eight-year-old Logan Fletcher was outside playing when the Rottweiler - Shepherd mix got out and pounced on him.
It happened on Battle Creek Avenue around 10:00 yesterday morning.
Logan's family says they're shocked at what happened. They say the dog known as Bubba had always been friendly to them.
Bubba attacked Logan when the boy wanted to help get him back on a leash when he got out.
Some other neighbors we spoke with don't feel the same about the dog. They say he has a history of being out of control.
Matteson agreed to let authorities put the dog down. He says he feels bad about what happened and can't afford anymore tickets from Bubba getting out.
He's already paid 750 dollars in fines from two other incidents.
