A child was bitten by a dog at the Adirondack Balloon Festival on Saturday.

The child’s parents are asking the dog owner to come forward to see if their son is in danger of getting rabies.

Three-year-old Trent Morgan was enjoying the festival with his mother, Emily Matuszczak, and his stepdad, Tyler Ennis, Saturday evening when a gray pitbull walked by.

Ennis said Trent asked the dog’s owner if he could pet the dog and she said yes.

However, when Trent went to pet the dog.

“A dog just snapped right up on his face and then, you know, he started crying. We thought he was just afraid,” Ennis said.

Then when Trent looked up.

“I saw all the blood all over his face. I just snatched him out of her, you know, out of her arms. I just sprinted towards the paramedics,” Ennis said.

Trent was taken to Glens Falls Hospital and is now dealing with injuries around his eye and his chin. Trent’s family told NewsChannel 13 that they were at the hospital till around 2:30 Sunday morning.

Following the incident, Tyler Ennis and police went to search for the dog and the owner but they were unable to find them.

“There were a bunch of people that told us, you know, hey, we tried to stop her, and she didn’t listen, and she left anyway,” Emily Matuszczak said.

Both Ennis and Matuszczak are urging the dog’s owner to come forward so they can get access to the dog’s vaccination records. They said if they don’t, Trent will be forced to get multiple Rabies shots.

“We’re not asking for a lot like, we just want to know if that dog is vaccinated. Yeah so, he doesn’t have to go through this pain and more of a traumatic than he already has,” Ennis said.
