 Pleasant Grove family is filled with gratitude their 12-year-old boy survived a shark bite in South Carolina this week with nothing to show for it other than a few stitches and a gripping story for his friends.

Kysen Weakley was relaxing in the waves only about 10 to 15 feet from the shore Tuesday evening when he felt a pain in his leg and saw a shark fin making its way deeper into the ocean, the boy's mother said.

But the shark left Kysen and his 7-year-old cousin alone after briefly clamping down on his leg.
