4-year-old boy playing with neighbor’s Husky gets arm ripped off
2019-03-06
[NYPOST] Authorities in Utah say a Husky attacked a 4-year-old boy, ripped off his arm and presumably swallowed the now-missing limb, according to reports.

The child, whose identity hasn’t been released, wanted to play with his neighbor’s two Huskies Sunday afternoon in Layton and stuck his arm underneath a chain-link fence, news station KUTV reported.

The boy had a sock on his right arm when one of the dogs bit into his forearm and tore off the appendage about three inches above the wrist, officials said.

Emergency responders were able to locate the Husky, but weren’t able to recover the boy’s arm or hand.

"We’ve not found it in the backyard," Layton Fire Battalion Chief Jason Cook told KSL.com. "Our fear is that it may have been ingested by the dog."

The boy was airlifted to Primary Children’s Hospital in serious, but stable condition, according to officials.

#1  The way insurance companies work, the claim will be denied because the boy was "trespassing" when he reached under the fence.
