An unidentified Flint man was attacked by a neighbor's pitbull last Friday as he opened the door to his home around 7:30 a.m. near Tillinghast Place and Saginaw Street.  The pitbull bit the victim's forearm and also attacked his dog.  It is reported that the man was taken to McLaren Regional Medical Center where he was treated for puncture wounds, scratches, swelling and bruising. 

A dog attack can be frightening as well as extremely painful. You may be left with permanent scars and may require physical therapy and continued treatment or surgery to avoid disfigurement. The emotional trauma associated with the incident can stay with you for life.
