Boy mauled by dog - family has no insurance - can you help?

Boy Mauled By Dog Released from the Hospital

http://tinyurl.com/4xqre33

Brandon was discharged Tuesday after being hospitalized for nearly a week following reconstructive surgery.

Brandon, a blue-eyed boy with a contagious smile, was mauled by a female pit bull mix and a large black male dog outside a home in the 1000 block of Branch Drive in Newport as he carried a wrongly delivered package to a neighbor's home.

Cocke County Sheriff's Office deputies said the dogs were owned by Jennifer R. Switzer, 21, and Anthony L. Lugar, 22, who were later arrested on charges of allowing animals to run at large. The two are due in court for a preliminary hearing on their respective charges Aug. 29.

Brandon said when he tried to run from the dogs, they knocked him over and the pit bull, which authorities said was in heat, mauled him.

Can you donate?

I wish people would control their pets. Good thoughts and prayers for Brandon.
