Paytons Dog Bite

Hello everyone. I have been very over whelmed as this is the most traumatizing thing as a parent I have ever dealt with. There are no words to describe truly the mental agony this has put on our family. On April 25th, Payton was bitten by a Pittbull on his face. The Pittbull was on a leash, however the leash was not being held on to as it should. The Pittbull licked Payton and then snapped him in the face at the same instance. The owner and the dog left when Payton was taken to the hospital and have not been found. Clearwater Animal Control and Clearwater Police Department are doing what they can to locate them. Unfortunately the odds of finding them is extrextremely low. Payton is expected to recover but has since been put back in the hospital due to an infection in the tissue around his eyelids and in one of the lacerations. Unfortunately with dog bites, infection is very common. Hopefully we will have answers as soon as tomorrow rather plastic surgery is needed. We have quite a lot ahead of us in the coming weeks. This has put a huge unexpected financial strain on our family. I have had so many people reach out asking if there is anything they can do to help. Previously I have declined any help however the circumstances have continually changed. All I ask of anyone and everyone is too please not harm your own familys financial well being to help mine. We appreciate anything. Pictures following the attack.
