Question
My chocolate lab puppy that's only 9 weeks old got attacked by 3 mastiffs yesterday and they bit of or ripped of a patch of his hair above his eye- but it never bleed.  Will The patch of hair grow back? Its like where is eyebrow is.

Answer
Julie,
If they took a upper level of skin off as well, there is the possibility that it will not have hair grow back.  Otherwise it should grow back.  The bigger concern is the emotional affects on the pup.  Make sure you take him to puppy class and socialize him a lot.  Or you may get a very nasty dog when he is an adult.
