My Son was attacked

The Bible tells us to give thanks in all situations. Around 4:30 pm today my four yr old son was attacked by a dog. He bit him on the face. One of the wounds was very close to his left eye. I want to thank my Jesus that my son was spared his vision and that no serious damage was done to him.

My wife is concerned that he will have permanent scars. I told her that it would add character to his face (she didn't like that too much).

Instead of giving him stiches, they bound him with the glue.

Oh my, I will be praying.
That is a terrible thing.
Thank God it wasn't worse.

Mark I do not mean to hijack this thread but you are my friend but let me step up right here and say something... until you are a parent dont ever tell a parent they need to keep a better eye on their child you have no clue what you speak of! I remember when my son was 8 and he was at his dads. We were sitting talking and he had the dog sitting on his lap... sleeping... all the sudden this dog woke and turned around and bit him horribly in 4 places of which he still has scars today..

Accidents happen every day and it does not mean someone is not watching after their child properly and most of all someone who has no children has no right whatsoever telling someone who does how to handle said situation...

Now on that note...

BK,.,,,, praying that your sons face gets better quick and that there is no scars remain!!!

Mark,
Were you there? Did you see the situation? How can you with a clear conscious make statements like this. I cannot believe ANYONE would say such a thing to a parent whos child has been hurt. NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES!!!
Sometimes man, you just step outside the boundries of love.
Blessings
Steve

Sometimes we need to be like God and wink at ignorance.

Praying, and the scars should be minimal with the glue.

So glad to hear that he's going to be ok. That glue stuff is amazing, by the way. I have a good friend who uses super glue anytime anyone in her family gets cut. It sounds weird, but it works!

Glad your son is ok. A young girl was attacked here many years ago and she had several plastic surgeries and still has an outstanding scar on her face. She graduated highschool last year. I pray there is minimal scarring for your son if any in Jesus name.

Wow, I'm glad he's okay. The same thing happened to my son, when he was young, while visiting my sister. The dog had attacked others. The owners had the dog put down. I think it's the right thing to do.

If you own a dog and you cannot confine him in a privacy fence, you don't need to own a dog. He should not be able to roam the streets!!
