“He kept asking if I was there. He said, ‘Mom, the dog used me as a chew toy, it hurts, it hurts.’”
AZLE, TexasThe owner of the dog is now in jail charged with a third-degree felony for not having her dog properly secured. The dog, now euthanized, was described by authorities as a brown and black brindle boxer/bull mastiff mixed-breed.Parker was in her home when she heard her small dogs making a commotion. When she looked outside, that is when she saw Conner being attacked.
"As I rounded my house could see a child on the ground, the dog was shaking him like a chew toy. That when I called 911," she said. "He had Connor, was taking him through the ditch to his yard.""The dog let go of Connor and came at me. That is when I realized I did not have a stick," Parker said."Every time I got the dog off, he would turn and go right back to Connor because he was crying. It was horrible," Parker said.
It took plastic surgeons at Cook Children's Medical Center more than three hours to perform reconstructive surgery. The dog had ripped open Connor’s mouth and he had to have stitches inside and out."I believe I owe her my life. She saved my son. The surgeon said if she was one minute late my son would have died," Ware said.Now, he’s back to being a typical 7-year-old boy.
"Proud of the scars I have, I hope I am teaching him to be proud of his scars, too, so he knows he is a survivor and survived the worst day of his life and that better be the worst day. He better not have any days worse than that," Ware said. The Parker County Animal Control Division has set up a fundraiser to help with Conner's medical bills: Plain Capital Bank 598-5400, Conner Lander’s Benefit Account.
