KENTUCKY -- A 6-year-old boy has been taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center after being mauled by a dog Sunday afternoon.
Oak Grove Police told WSMV-TV, a news partner of The Leaf-Chronicle, that the boy has “a lot of trauma to the facial area” and that his condition was not known.
The boy’s family was visiting friends, according to police, when the attack occurred at about 4:30 p.m. at 936 Linda Dr.
Three dogs were present, police said, but only one — a small German shepherd — was involved in the attack in a yard outside the house.
Officials removed all three dogs from the premises while police began an investigation.
