The boy was seriously injured in the attack that occurred on Monday evening in the Gothenburg suburb of Kortedala.
It was when the boy, together with his mother and older brother, got off the tram that the dog suddenly attacked.
The boy’s arm was seriously injured and he is currently being treated at Queen Silvia’s Children’s Hospital, where he has had to undergo two operations.
The dog can be euthanized
Now the County Administrative Board states that the dog will probably be euthanized.
The same dog is said to have attacked children on two previous occasions.
Why hasn’t it been taken care of already in the previous attacks?
– There have been three different attacks on children in three different counties. In each incident, different people have been responsible for the dog. The County Administrative Board in Halland has not really been able to locate the animal owner, where he is, says Violetta Delgado, administrator at the County Administrative Board in Halland to TV4 Nyheterna.
