BRADENTON, Fla. — Manatee County deputies said a 2-year-old in Bradenton was attacked by at least one of his grandmother’s dogs Saturday.
A witness said a pit bull was out of its pen when it attacked the child.
The child was airlifted to a hospital in critical condition.
Deputies said the pit bull that reportedly attacked the child and at least one other pit bull were taken into custody by animal control officers. Officials said they weren’t sure if both dogs were involved in the attack or just one.
