Surgeons battled to reconstruct his face. Dr. Evan Garfein, chief of plastic surgery at Montefiore said: "He was attacked by six pit bulls on his way home from the candy store.

 

"He lost a tremendous amount of blood. He was found by his brother with the dogs still attacking him."

 

Dr Garfein had come across the fundraiser and said he wanted to help the poor boy out, reports The Sun Online.
