Stray dog attacks toddler
Stray Dog Attacks ToddlerSan Antonio, TX - Mark Carrasco, 2, was outside when a stray dog attacked the child, his parents said. Lisa Carrasco, the child’s mother, had just dropped the child off with his father.
"I bought him McDonald’s before I dropped him off, so I’m thinking the dog attacked for that,” Lisa Carrasco said.The father says, “When I got his juice, we heard a yell. When he yelled, we ran and there was a dog on top of him.” The child was taken to University Hospital for surgery. His parents tell reporters that Mark is out of surgery and doing okay.
