Poor baby. I hope that the little child is going to heal alright.  Stories like that  make me sick. Where was the owner during the attack???

That is so sad, I hope that the little boy is going to be ok.   

Stupid irresponsible pet owners.  Everytime something like this happens is another point against the rest of us and more footing for BSL laws in the publics eyes.

Three pit bulls that attacked a Montgomery County first grader are under quarantine. John Masarick III was attacked as he got off a school bus Thursday. Police say his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. The dogs were seized by the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County. The league cited the dogs' owner for not having proper vaccinations.
Bus driver Brenda Stumph freed the boy from the dogs' grip and kicked one of the animals to keep it from entering the bus.
"I picked up the boy like this and we're running and the dogs jumping up and grabbing hold of the kids belly," said Stumph. "I'm trying to run back to the bus and they're nipping at me and they're just out for blood."
The dogs' owner refused to talk, but had previously told the Animal Welfare League that children had been throwing objects at his dogs and bothering them recently. He faces three additional citations for failure to restrain his animals.
The male dog is expected to be destroyed and checked for rabies. Officials will decide if the female dog will also be put down after the quarantine period. John Masarick is a student at Sugar Creek Elementary School. He is expected to make a full recovery.

OMG!!  That is so sad!  Whenever something like that happens to a small child I instantly have visions of the same thing happening to my 5yr old and it just sickens me!  I hope that owner get's what coming to him, why in the heck would you have your dogs roaming free like that?

That is very bad - I hope that boy will be ok.  We tons of kids with dog bites in the ER and we aren't even a pediatric emerency room.  It is one of the most common injuries to children.  That and not having kids in car seats.
