CROTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A 12-year-old boy who was attacked by two dogs last week is out of the hospital and doing well.
Just a week ago, Devin Bates was lying in a hospital bed and depending on breathing tubes. On Thursday, he was in a wheelchair and well enough to attend a fundraiser at Camp Harvest east of Newaygo to help cover his medical expenses.
At the spaghetti dinner and silent auction, Devin met one of the men who helped saved him.
“I’m glad he’s still here,” said one of the first responders from the Ashland Grant Fire Department. “I didn’t expect he would be.”
The Ashland Grant Fire Department answered the 911 call on Aug. 1 when Devin was viciously mauled by two neighborhood dogs as he rode his bike near his home off of 96th Street near Newaygo.
