BUTLER, Pa. — A toddler who was bitten in the face by a dog is being treated at Children’s Hospital.

The 15-month-old boy and his parents were walking to dinner Friday on North Chestnut Street in Butler when the pit bull went after the boy.

“The dog came out of nowhere and attacked my son," said Claude Taylor, the boy’s father. "My fiancée grabbed my son and wrapped her legs around the dog. I ripped the dog’s jaws apart.”
