A Chatham-Kent boy has been taken to a hospital in Michigan following a dog attack.

Around 5pm Monday, two young children and their babysitter were tobogganing at Jaycee Park in Wallaceburg, when two dogs escaped from their home and attacked the youngest child.

A man and woman immediately ran to the park to help.  

The 6-year-old boy ran to safety while the three-year-old boy was carried from the scene to a home as 9-11 was called.  He was taken by ambulance to Sydenham District Hospital and then transferred to a Michigan hospital for further treatment.

The babysitter was treated and released from hospital.

The dogs have been identified and are currently in quarantine.
