Police said the dog mauled the teenager, who was shifted to the Districts Headquarter Hospital Kabirwala.
Sajid told The Express Tribune at the hospital that he was asking for his outstanding wages but the owner had refused to pay him. "My mother is suffering from a kidney disease and I wanted money so I could take her to the Nishtar Hospital Multan, but instead of paying me my wages, Rafeeullah let his dog loose on me," he added.
Police said they had taken Rafeeullah into custody and were interrogating him.
