According to his mother, Amy Lowe, he has undergone surgery and is currently in stable condition.
‘It’s a deeply distressing experience.’ I’m deeply affected. I believe my son has experienced significant emotional distress Lowe said.
‘He has a challenging journey ahead in terms of recovery.’ He sustained over 60 bites. There seems to be a lack of strength or physical power. ‘They devoured all the muscle from his left leg,’ Lowe informed FOX8.

911 Call Reports Terrifying Attack by Mixed Breed Dogs
Natasha Sims witnessed the dogs encircling Anderson and promptly dialed 911, making efforts to separate the dogs from the child.
As I arrived at the scene, his lifeless form came into view. They were devouring him. The dogs appeared to have devoured him completely, Sims said.
‘At that moment, I was uncertain about his condition.’ I witnessed a sight filled with nothing but skeletal remains. Sims described the extent of his injuries, stating that he was severely affected.
When officers arrived at the scene, the dogs had already fled. Officers quickly located the pack and took action by shooting two of them. The other two managed to escape and are described as being large, black mixed-breed dogs.
According to local news, the owner of the dogs remains unidentified. Following the unfortunate event, Lowe strongly emphasizes the need to locate and take action regarding the other two dogs.
‘I believe the dogs should be euthanized.’ The owners of the dogs should be held accountable. There will be consequences for their actions. ‘I demand justice for my son,’ the anguished mother expressed.
A fundraising campaign has been initiated by a close acquaintance of the family to gather financial support for the child’s recuperation.
As per the information provided, in addition to Anderson, Lowe has four other children. The crowdfunding page has currently received $330 in donations, which is a small fraction of its $10,000 target.
