LUNENBURG, Mass. — The 75-year-old man attacked by a dog in Lunenburg remains in critical condition after receiving hundreds of stitches.
Wayne Comeau, the husband of the town’s animal control officer, is currently on a respirator at UMass Memorial in Worcester to rest his lungs.
According to a family member, he also has broken bones on his fingers and hand.
A family member told Boston 25 News Tuesday that it took doctors five hours to stitch up the wounds on Comeau’s body following the attack that lasted for 30 agonizing minutes.
The attack happened on Monday at the couple’s home, which serves as Lunenburg’s animal control facility.
A responding Lunenburg officer shot and killed the pit bull to stop the attack.
That dog came in as a stray on Thursday.
