Families in Henderson are searching for the owner of a dog who they say sent two middle-schoolers to the hospital.
11-year-old Reed Flores was riding his electric scooter to school in the MacDonald Ranch area when he was attacked, his mother tells Channel 13.
Asked where the dog bit him, Reed pointed to his knee.
“I feel it right here,” he said.
“I was going by a guy and his dog and when I was going around him, one of the dogs just leaped at me. Yeah, like they just lunged at me.”
This caused several injuries. Reed says he had bruises on his back and legs, and needed several stitches to close the wound.
“Skin flapped over; you could see flesh on the wound. He was beside himself,” said Reed’s mom, Kellie.
