An 11-year-old boy has been hospitalized following an attack by a dog that was being fostered by the boy’s neighbor in Costa Mesa, according to a news report.
Costa Mesa police said that the boy was walking down the street in the 1000 block of Nancy Lane when a pit bull being fostered by his neighbor came out of the neighbor’s open front door. The unidentified boy became frightened and ran; the dog chased the boy down and bit him on his right leg.
The boy was taken to Kaiser Permanente in Irvine for treatment of his injuries, including lacerations that were 4-6 inches in length. The dog has been quarantined.
