HOISINGTON, Kan. (AP) A central Kansas boy is in a Wichita hospital after being mauled by a neighbor’s pit bull.
KAKE-TV reports the 4-year-old from Hoisington was in critical condition Wednesday.
Hoisington police say the boy was playing a backyard Monday afternoon when the dog jumped a fence and attacked him. The boy was taken first to a Barton County hospital, then transferred to Wichita due to the severity of his injuries.
The pit bull was euthanized and tested negative for rabies.
