Ethan Jacques, 10, sustains facial injuries in dog attack in Beloit, Wisconsin
Beloit boy needs eleven stitches after dog bite attack
Ethan needed eleven stitches after the dog reportedly slipped his chained leash and ran after him.
"He was holding his face, there was a hole in his face," Mom Nichole Alex said when her terrified son ran inside to tell her the terrible news.
Beloit Police cited the pit bull owners with possessing a dangerous animal, and for not having a dog license or rabies vaccine.

We are hoping to raise money to help cover some of the medical costs as Ethan may require plastic surgery once these initial sutures are removed, as well as the cost of the ambulance and ER visit, counseling (as Ethan is now scared of all large breed dogs), and follow up care.
