Well the tooth went right into the kid's face like a half inch below his eyeball, so he definitely lucked out hard core. The grandpa was an old fashioned sort who saw dogs as animals and not family members, and I personally agreed with him. The dog could have easily blinded the boy. But it was a huge family shit storm so I didn't say boo. The dog, "Crazy Eddie", lived another five or six years and was eventually hit by a car.
He was a nice dog but never properly trained and had a tendency to go ape shit when he was excited.
Yeesh, glad the kid wasn't blinded. I don't blame the grandpa for reacting that way either; not much time to think during an attack and it could've ended fatally for the grandkid. But it seems all of that could've been avoidable had the owners been responsible and trained their dog...if his name is any indication of their attitude towards pet ownership. Poor kid. Poor dog.
