Police say the 2-year-old boy injured in the attack will be leaving the hospital soon and coming home. He underwent emergency surgery following the incident.
Investigators say the boy hit the dog on the head -- prompting the dog to latch onto the child's face and vigorously shake him.
Authorities did cite the owner of the dog -- a family friend -- with a municipal violation of having an unlicensed dog.
We're told test results from the euthanized pit bull show the dog did not have rabies.
