"A 4-year-old boy had his lower leg amputated after being attacked by his father’s police dog, according to a neighbor who helped save the child from the attack at a Hesperia home, KTLA reported."
"The incident occurred Sunday at a home where Rialto Police Department Officer Michael Mastaler lives with his family and his K-9 partner, a lieutenant with the department confirmed."
"Mastaler had returned home from a weekend training session with the dog, a Belgian Malinois named Jango, when he put the animal in the backyard and went upstairs to change clothes, believing his son was safely inside playing video games, police said."

| Why would they need to ask for charitable contributions (go fund me page) to pay for the boy's care? I would expect that Rialto, CA has the deep pockets to pay any medical bills resulting from this incidence. Furthermore, Rialto will probably settle their civil liability for tens of thousands of dollars in excess of the actual damages. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
