ATLANTA – The 5-year-old southwest Atlanta boy bitten by a pit bull on Monday night was released from the hospital on Thursday.
FOX 5 caught up with Marquez Broner after his release from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston to treat those bites. He said he was playing his front yard Monday night when his parents pulled into the driveway of his Lexington Avenue home. Broner ran up to greet them, but was attacked by the dog.
His aunt, Victoria Broner, said he is a good boy and an honor student at Gideons Elementary School. His teacher, Reginald Little, came by to visit with get well card signed by all his classmates. His family said he will have to spend the next few weeks resting and will probably have to miss the rest of the school year.
The Fulton County Animal Control, who took possession of the dog, said they will probably put the pit bull down since his owner has not come forward.
