POQUOSON, Va. (WAVY) - A 3-year-old Poquoson boy had part of his ear severed Wednesday after being bitten by a golden retriever, according the Poquoson police department.
Police say that Wednesday just before 5 p.m., police and fire crews were dispatched to a mobile home on Wythe Creek Road after getting a report of a dog bite. They found the child had part of his ear severed and transported him to a hospital.
Witnesses told police that the child wandered behind a storage shed near a short fence that divides two properties. They said they then heard a dog bark and the child cry out. The child then came out from behind the shed bleeding on the side of his head.
The incident was reported to the Newport News Animal Services Division and remains under investigation.
