Boy, 9, attacked by dog 'cried a lot' after seeing face for first time brother says

A nine-year-old boy left with life-changing facial injuries after a pit bull mauled him “cried a lot” when he saw himself for the first time, his older brother revealed.

Alejandro Mizsan remains in Crumlin Children’s Hospital where he will be joined by his family over the festive period. In an exclusive interview with the Irish Mirror, his brother Raul told how a device in the hospital is helping the boy speak. He also revealed the primary school pupil will have to go to Turkey to get a lip implant.

Raul also showed his new tattoo which he had done in Alejandro’s honour which brought the first smile from the young lad since he was attacked. Alejandro was mauled by a pitbull as he played with pals on the green of the Old Forge Road housing estate in Enniscorthy, Wexford on Sunday, November 27.
