. “With our tragedy, we would like something good to come from it, so we are donating his organs and with that, his bright spirit will live on.”

What happened during the *******?

Last Friday, Covil was in the backyard of a home in Brooklyn Park with his mother, Tasha, and older brother, **********, to pick out a puppy when he was attacked by two dogs – the puppy’s parents.

Covil’s father, Chuck, explained that there has been misinformation about the incident, adding stress as they grieve. He clarified that the dogs involved were ********* Bulldogs, not pit bulls, and that Tasha immediately fought to free Covil from the ******* before police arrived.

Chuck explained that while Tasha and ********** were playing with a puppy, Covil was playing nearby. Tasha heard him scream and she and the dog’s owner immediately moved to intervene.

By the time police and an ambulance arrived, Covil had been separated from the dogs, and CPR was being attempted. The dogs were put down to remove Covil from the backyard safely.

What injuries did Covil suffer?

Covil suffered a fractured skull, jaw, collarbone, vertebrae, and a punctured lung. Tasha has had two surgeries on her right calf due to her own dog ***** injuries and is awaiting a third surgery.
