The mother of a 4-year-old Layton boy whose hand was bitten off by a next-door neighbor’s dog wrote that she’s grateful the animal won’t be returning and that she hopes to “set the record straight.”
Davis County Animal Control announced that the owners of the two huskies involved in the incident have surrendered them, and the dogs will be moved to an as-yet unnamed sanctuary. In a long Facebook post, Hope Elizabeth Brown wrote, “We thank the lord they won’t be coming back and our child is safe again.”
On March 3, Austin Brown, age 4, was playing in the backyard of his home when one of the two huskies, Polar and Bear, bit and severed his forearm 5 centimeters below the elbow, according to his mother.
