The family of a boy left with life-changing injuries after being mauled by a pitbull are heartbroken he will not be home for Christmas.
But Alejandro Mizsan’s older brother has told how the young lad will keep fighting, and he hopes he can help him to keep up with his school work as he recovers. Alejandro was playing on a green area of the Old Forge Road estate in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, on Sunday when a pitbull – which was not on a leash and unmuzzled – attacked him.
The primary school pupil was left with extensive facial injuries and remains in Crumlin Children’s Hospital after undergoing two surgeries. The dog was later put down.
