Earlier this month we discussed a lawsuit stemming from a donkey attack in Florida. Now we have a report of an 8-year-old child attacked by a donkey in California.

"This child is lucky to be alive," Shasta County Animal Control supervisor Mayra Morris told Redding.com. "This wasn’t a bite. This was a full-out attack."

According to the report, the boy entered the donkey’s field while walking his dog. The donkey attacked the child, biting him repeatedly and causing extensive wounds on his legs, hands, stomach, and deep bites to his head
