Child viciously mauled by an Alsatian in Aitos

A three-year-old boy from the seaside town of  Aitos was savagely and repeatedly bitten on the head by an Alsatian (German  Shepherd), the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency has reported.

The child has been taken to the emergency ward in Bourgas hospital.

The child and his older brother had been taken out for a walk by their grandmother in the Aitos park. The two boys were playing in the sand pit, close to a warehouse. At some stage, the boy ventured inside the warehouse yard where the dog was tied to a pole.

The boy then apparently proceeded towards the dog intending to pet it, which prompted the attack from the Alsatian. 

The child's condition has been reported as stable in the neurological surgery ward.
