ALLIANCE – Kayden Underwood isn t supposed to laugh.
The 10-year-old, whose mother describes him as funny and outgoing, can t smile either without the risk of ripping a stitch. His family has tried not to say anything humorous around him since April 4 when a dog tore off his top lip.
The fifth-grader at Northside Intermediate School was playing with a pit bull when it jumped up and grabbed his mouth. He was taken to Akron Children s Hospital for surgery. Kayden s aunt, Elizabeth Underwood, said doctors were able to reattach a piece of his lip his sister recovered but not the entire lip.

The ACT s decision to ban travellers from parts of New South Wales just days before Christmas was, like many other steps taken by governments in the last year, unprecedented.
Key points:
Thousands of people went into quarantine over the Christmas period over fears related to COVID-19 outbreaks in other states
While many chose not to travel, those who did risked border closures, rule changes and possible 14-day quarantine periods
