Boy, 6, bit by dog in Cocoa

Cocoa, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - A 6-year-old is at Arnold Palmer hospital in stable condition Sunday night, recovering from a dog bite.

Brevard County Fire Rescue officials said via Twitter that the child was bitten in the head by a dog in Cocoa at around 5:30 p.m. Sunday.

Fox 35 was there as Brevard County Sheriff's animal services was on scene. The people inside the home where the incident happened offered no comment to Fox 35.

A woman who says she is a cousin of the child says the 6-year-old was invited to a neighbor's house to play with children on a trampoline at the home.

The cousin said the dog attacked the child, and she watched as the child was put on a stretcher with his head wrapped up.
