Hunter Gale, an 8 year old boy in Bibb County, Georgia, is recovering from a dog bite to his face suffered Monday night at his neighbor's house. It is reported that Gale went to visit a friend, Eric York, when York's pit bull inexplicably ran up and bit the boy shortly before 7 p.m. The dog was reportedly familiar with Gale but still attacked and bit him even though unprovoked or threatened. Gale suffered two (2) puncture wounds as a result of the dog bite. One wound was on the right side of his face about an inch under his eye and the other to the left side of his mouth requiring stitches. The dog was quarantined while York was cited for violating the local leash law and failing to inoculate his dog.
