LORAIN, Ohio — Police are looking for the owners of a pair of dogs they say terrorized a south Lorain neighborhood, attacking a 4-year-old boy and killing another family’s dog.

The attacks were reported on Aug. 21 on Palm Ave. near Packard Dr. on the city’s southeast side.

“It just could’ve been so much worse. He could’ve been scarred for life or dead,” Joyce Martin said of her grandson. “But he looks like he’s healing up pretty good.”

Martin explained she saw the two large dogs on her front porch that afternoon. She said she went to warn her grandson and his teenage sister, who were waiting in the driveway for the family to leave for a school event.

When she got to the side door, she said a neighbor was already kicking the dogs off the 4-year-old as they were biting his face and head.
