NEWPORT, Tenn. – A 10-year-old boy recovering from a dog mauling last week says he thought he was going to die during the attack near his home.
Brandon Williams’ head is covered with gauze and an ace bandage to protect the ears doctors reattached, and his face is marred with deep puncture wounds, cuts and bruises.
He was attacked by a female pit bull and another large male dog while taking a package to a neighbor’s home on Wednesday in Newport.
Brandon told the Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/oscruH ) he thought he was going to die before his father came running and pulled the dogs off him.
“I took my fist to its face,” said Brandon’s father, Tony Williams. The big male dog bit him but he was able to back it off.
