Boy bitten by pit bull makes recovery and gets hero s welcome
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – Sirens wailed in one Pompano Beach neighborhood. But, at least on Thursday, they weren’t heading to an emergency.
Broward Sheriff’s Office welcomed 2-year-old Benjamin “Benji” Borja home from the hospital.
On May 9, the toddler was attacked by a pit bull while in his mother’s front yard.
“She was carrying him. The dog came and jumped and grabbed his thigh and pulled him down,” said Daisy Borja, Benji’s sister.
“They were all trying to get the dog to let go of his leg.”
