My 7-year-old grandson was bitten by the family dog in Florida. The dog bit a chunk out of his side, and the hospital couldn't sew it due to lack of skin, so they taped it together. The hospital filled out a form about the incident but didn't take pictures of the wound. What does the hospital do with the form, and are they obligated to turn it in to animal control? I'm concerned because the family doesn't want to lose their dog, but I want to prevent this from happening again.
