In late February, four-year-old Kevin Vicente was mauled by a pitbull in south Phoenix. He was rushed to Maricopa Medical Center with skin and tissue ripped off his face, a broken eye socket, detached tear ducts and a fractured jaw. He underwent 5 1/2 hours of surgery.
Kevin, whose face was mangled so badly that hospital workers were traumatized by his injuries, now eats and breathes through tubes while awaiting a series of reconstructive surgeries.
