Family say they had the dog contained in their back yard for at least 24 hours after the attack, which left the 11-year-old boy with multiple stitches in his leg.
INDIANAPOLIS — A local family had to hold a stray dog for over 24 hours after it attacked their son in his back yard.While the family is shocked, they're also upset about the response time from Indianapolis Animal Care Services .
"The dog was walking around and I told my family get inside and close the door don't go outside and I got my grandson because the dog was trying to follow us," Isabel Ramirez Yaddeir’s grandfather said. According to Indianapolis Animal Care Services, their current staffing levels are part of the reason for the significant delay.
IACS also says three officers are on leave, which is why they choose which calls they answer based on urgency. They say the dog biting incident didn't qualify as an urgent call at the time.
