Pitbull attack victim Alejandro Mizsan was embraced by his mother when he returned home from hospital on Tuesday after seven weeks as his older brother told us: "The nightmare is over, today is a dream for us."
The Irish Mirror was invited into the Mizsan home in Enniscorthy, Wexford as neighbours and friends called over to welcome nine-year-old Alejandro back.
Although he was not expected to be released from Crumlin Children's Hospital for another few weeks, medics gave the go-ahead which left his family overjoyed.
