bad dog!

my 4 yo nephew David was attacked by my Mom's dog, Panda. I woke up to someone screaming bloody murder and when I opened my door, a very freaked out Stella flung herself in my lap. When I went into the bathroom, where the screams were coming from, I found my stepdad cleaning up David's face. I asked him what happened and he said that Panda attacked David. I asked why and he said that Panda was lying on the floor when David tripped over her. She attacked his face. He has two punctures, one on his cheek, near his top lip and another under his bottom lip. Plus, two scratches VERY close to his eye. He's very lucky.I said, "Well, Panda and I are going outside then." Called the vet to make sure Panda was up to date on rabies, which she was. (She wasn't my dog, I didn't know for sure) Called David's mom and asked about medical coverage, told her what happened. She said she was going to kill that dog and I told her it was too late. Anyway, David is fine. Took him to town to the ER and he was very calm thru the whole thing. He kept telling everyone how brave he is and how he was ok. lol I kept him distracted by practising counting in Finnish, (which he's doing quite well in) Panda wasn't old, only 4 years old. She was a Lab/GSD/Chow/Pit Bull and possibly Husky mix. She had a quick, painless death, far less painful than the bites on David's face. The good thing is, David's not afraid of Rocky or Stella. They've been glued to him ever since we returned home and he's been hugging on them and playing. *whew* Deby
