A two-year-old boy and a 17-year-old teenager were yesterday recovering from their injuries following an attack by a pitbull in the village of Plymouth, Tobago on Thursday night.
Nickoli Blackman was said to be lucky to be alive following the pitbull attack. Several bite wounds were seen around his buttocks, when the Sunday Express visited the family at their Plymouth home.
His mother Mourise Glod said she was walking along Commissioner Street, Plymouth when the dog broke away from its owner and attacked her son. The pitbull then went after the teenage boy.
“And as I was trying to lift him up with one hand, (the dog attacked) and that was it.”
