Fundraiser Set to Help Boy Attacked by Dog

A Roseville business is stepping up to help a local boy who was attacked by a dog during a camping vacation.

The Eaton family was camping by the California border after the holidays when a dog the family had been around many times “snapped” and attacked 2-year-old Brody Eaton, his mother Jessica Eaton said. Brody was airlifted to a children’s hospital in Phoenix and underwent surgery to his face.

Jessica said the Akita dog attacked the left side of Brody’s face. His vision is OK, but Brody is expected to undergo another surgery to replace his missing eyelid.

Although Brody is back home in Roseville now, he may never look the same. To help fund Brody’s surgeries, is hosting a three-day fundraiser in which 20 percent of pizza orders will go to the Eaton family. The fundraiser runs from 4-9 p.m. Jan. 23-25 and be sure to mention that you’re there to support Brody and a donation will be made.

If you can’t attend one of the fundraiser nights, but still want to help, contact Ashley Campbell at Campelli’s to make a donation to the Eaton family.

Jessica said their insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures, so every donation helps.

As a result of this, Jessica said her family is considering starting a foundation to raise awareness and to provide safety information about large dogs.

“You just never know; they are still animals,” Jessica said.
