MICHIGAN -- A dog attacked a Jackson man early Saturday, causing severe head and facial injuries.
The man tried to remove something from the mouth of his dog, an 18 month-old male pit bull mix named Maverick, and the dog attacked him, Jackson police Sgt. Adam Williams said.
Emergency personnel were called at 8:36 a.m. Nov. 28 to the man's home in the 100 block of Bates Street.
The man went to Allegiance Health for treatment. He was then transferred to the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor for surgery, Williams said.
The dog was taken to the Jackson County Animal Shelter. Dangerous, impounded animals are not released for adoption, according to the county animal control and protection ordinance, and the dog was expected to be euthanized.
Williams said the owner or owners of the animal no longer wanted the dog in their home.
