A Weatherford grandmother is asking the public’s help in raising money for her 2-year-old grandson after he was injured by a dog.
Teri Leon said her grandson, Julius, was attacked by a pit bull inside a home near Midlothian while resting in the bottom bunk after returning from a spring break spent with her and Julius’ brother at Great Wolf Lodge. According to a GoFundMe fundraiser, the boy’s mother “fought desperately to get the dog off him” and was bitten herself.
Additional details about the incident weren’t immediately available Wednesday.
Julius is in a hospital in Fort Worth. The GoFundMe, which received its first donation Tuesday, has raised a little over $1,300 of a $25,000 goal as of Wednesday afternoon.
“He is the sweetest, most gentle little boy you could ever meet — full of love, innocence, and joy,” the GoFundMe says.
