A 6-year-old Springfield boy may lose an ear after he was attacked by a dog Thursday night.

It happened at the child's grandfather's house in the 900 block of West Pleasant.

Officials said the boy was bitten on the head and police called the Humane Society to pick up the dog but when it got away, an officer shot and killed it.

The child was removed to a local hospital. There was no word on his condition.
