Maine toddler needs 64 stitches after grandfather's pit bull attacks

MAINE — A father says his 1-1/2 year-old son needed 64 stitches to close wounds caused by a mauling by a pit bull while at the home of the boy's grandfather in Windham, Maine.


Henry Irish says his son Devin is home from the hospital but wakes up at night crying out in pain. He says the boy suffered puncture wounds and a broken nose on Tuesday.

He tells WGME-TV that he blames the boy's grandfather and the breed of dog for the attack.
