Dog fight wound: Does my pup need stitches or will it heal itself?

Question

Would my pup need a stitch? Or would it heal it’s self? He got attacked but his sibling last week and just finished course of antibiotics yesterday but got attacked again this morning as he went near his brothers food bowl. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male

That does look as though it may need a stitch or two. I would also be concerned about any trauma to the eye itself and would have the eye and the wound checked by a veterinarian to be on the safe side.
