Hey, don’t look at us, we don’t look for these pit bull stories on purpose. If someone has a “pug mauling child” story they want to send our way, feel free.

A boy has undergone three hours of surgery and required more than 100 stitches to close bite wounds inflicted by a pit bull.

Sean Bajwa, 11, was playing at the playground at Cedar Hills elementary at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday when a pair of pit bull dogs came charging at him and at least one of them pounced.

Jordan Slezak, 20, who lives near the school, was chatting with his mom when suddenly they heard the boy screaming. Looking out of his house to see a dog tugging at Bajwa’s leg, Slezak grabbed a bat, leapt over the fence in his bare feet and beat the pit bull back. Slezak had to crack the dog twice over the head before it let go of the child.
