He had to get stitches on his right leg. His hand and wrist were also injured during the attack.
Brandon says he was at his uncle's house playing down the street on Saturday when the dog jumped on him and took three bites out of him.
He says he'd done nothing to the dog to make it mad. Afterward, Brandon ran back to his uncle's house where an ambulance was called. The boy was taken in to have the wound on his leg stitched up.
The two wounds on his hand and wrist are healing on their own. Brandon’s uncle says he was charged with animal cruelty after he took a bat to the dog when it lunged at him.

Animal Control and the Health Department stated that the pit bull had been running loose since Saturday’s incident. The dog finally came back today and NewsChannel 3 was there as the owner surrendered her pet to Animal Control.
The owner is now facing charges.
Today, Brandon says he's scared of dogs after what he says happened to him over the weekend.
"It just come over and attacked me,” says Brandon. “I did try getting it off me, but that didn't work.”
