MINOT, N.D. — Officials at Minot Air Force Base say they’re reviewing the pet policy for military housing after a pit bull bit a toddler.

Maj. Elizabeth Ortiz, a base spokeswoman, says the 16-month-old boy wandered near the pit bull’s newborn puppies on Aug. 13, and the dog responded by biting the child.

Ortiz said Wednesday that the boy was treated at a Minot hospital and is now back home.

“The ending was fortunate in the sense that the child is doing well and received excellent medical care,” she said.
