A 10-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital in Kansas after being attacked by a German Shepherd and pit bull mixed dog.
The attack took place in December but the boy is still in recovery and his family asks for financial help due to the duration of the hospitalization.
Chance Orozco faces several more months in intensive care because he needs facial reconstruction to repair the injuries suffered in the approximately 20-minute attack.
The family of the boy says he was attacked while playing at a neighbor’s house. The father of Chance’s friend rushed to Chance’s home to inform his family of what happened. That man is also the owner of the dog.
The reason for the attack is unclear; the dog was supposedly chained to a tree.
While some would pinpoint the cause on the dog being part pit bull, Chance’s dad disagrees.
There has been no investigation into the attack.
An investigation into a similar attack several years ago in the same year, Garden City, culminated with police issuing citations for dog at large and animal bite, which combined could have resulted in up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. The final results of the citations were never reported on.
