Alejandro Miszan was attacked by a pitbull whilst playing with friends on a green area on the Old Forge Road estate in Enniscorthy.

It was brought to a halt when passing neighbours intervened.

After the alarm was raised, Alejandro was brought to the local GAA grounds where the Irish Coast Guard’s Rescue 117 helicopter airlifted him to Crumlin Children’s Hospital in Dublin, where he has since undergone multiple surgeries.

His brother, Raul Miszan said his entire family is in shock and devastated by what happened. He said Alejandro is a friendly child who is loved by everyone.
