WAUPUN, Wis. (WBAY) – On Friday, officials responded to the 200 block of Fond du Lac St. for a report of three dogs attacking a child.
The child was transported to a medical facility for the severe injuries suffered in the attack.
The child’s father, a 34-year-old man, was also bitten when attempting to physically stop the dogs from attacking his child, and he also received medical attention.
An assisting neighbor, a 36-year-old man, also attempted to physically remove the dogs from the child.
The owner of the dogs, a 42-year-old woman, was able to secure the dogs in the house.
