It’s hard for Kevin Lovely to recall the past few days. His family has been staying at the Stollery Children’s Hospital after his son Eddie was attacked on Wednesday by two dogs.
“The trauma he’s going to have for the rest of his life, that day you know he was ripped apart,” said Lovely.
It happened as the little boy was running to retrieve his ball from the school bus.
“I could see from our front living room window, the neighbour’s dog, the big black one, running across and tackling my son to the ground.”
Lovely said the dogs would not let Eddie go until the bus driver and monitor intervened, forcing them to run off. Eddie’s 14-year-old sister yelled to the family to get help.
Both EMS and Parkland RCMP were called to the Paul First Nation near Wabamun to assist with the incident.
