Mom, 3-year-old son viciously attacked by family dog
MILLMONT, Pennsylvania (WNEP) Raegyn Royer spent part of the day playing with his brothers and cousins just like any other 3-year-old child. But Aunt Chelsey Royer says it’s a miracle that Raegyn is even alive after he was attacked by the family’s dog last Friday.
“Ripped his face down to his jaw bone, ripped his leg open, fractured his femur, punctured his femur bone, ripped his arm apart,” Chelsey Royer said.
According to Chelsey, her sister Ashley’s dog Titus was a pit bull and coon hound mix. The family had Titus for about five months, but the dog was displaying signs of aggression, so they were going to rehome him last Saturday.
