Boy's Arm Amputated After Pit Bull Attack
A 10-year-old boy from Paw Paw, Illinois sustained critical personal injuries including the loss of his arm in an attack by a pit bull on Jul 26.
According to the Sheriff’s Department of Van Buren County, Iowa, the boy sustained numerous wounds in the attack by Torco, the 2-year-old dog. According to authorities, the punctures he suffered to his right arm were so severe that his arm required amputation.
The boy was at his house alone while his parents were visiting in Indiana when his older brother came home and found him still being attacked by the dog. The brother immediately transported his brother to Lakeview Community Hospital in Paw Paw, where doctors stabilized him before rushing him to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The pit bull was taken to the animal shelter in Van Buren County and euthanized, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
