Dog cops caught
PITTSBURGH -- A 5-year-old boy is continuing to recover in the pediatric intensive care unit at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC after his father and grandfather frantically jumped in to save him from a dog attack.
William Stoll Jr. said his son, Hayden, underwent surgery Friday after being pinned to the ground by an unknown pit bull on the lawn of their Madison Avenue home in Herminie, Westmoreland County. Stoll said the dog's jaws were clamped over the sides of the boy's face.
My 10-year-old daughter, she comes running in and says, 'There's a dog killing Hayden,' " Stoll said. "It has been the worst day of my life."
The hospital said Hayden Stoll was in serious condition on Monday afternoon. His grandmother shared a new photo of the boy in the PICU with Channel 4 Action News on Tuesday morning.
Stoll said he and his father, William Sr., fought off the dog.
"I was a nervous wreck and scared to death for my kid," said the boy's mother, Jennifer Stoll.
"I'm broke up. I mean, I'm just worried about him," said William Stoll Sr.
Stoll Sr. said he picked up a rock and hit the dog after other attempts to get the animal off the boy failed.
"I tried to stick my hands in (the dog's) jaw, tried to pull them apart. I couldn't do it. I couldn't pull them apart," Stoll Sr. said.
After several shots with the rock, the Stolls said the pit bull finally released its bite and knocked over Hayden's grandfather, who suffered a bloody nose.
William Stoll Jr. said his son has a large laceration from his right ear to his jaw and puncture wounds on the left side of his face. The boy also suffered possible nerve damage, which means he may lose feeling in his face, the boy's father said.
"A dog that powerful, I was powerless against it. That's what kills me, that I couldn't do anything," William Stoll Jr. said. "All we want to know is whose dog that is. We can find the owner, and go from there."
