Dog attacks woman who aided child

A Featherston woman attacked by a dog as she tried to help a child faces at least six months of further surgery to repair her facial injuries.

Debra Brooking, an IT consultant working in Wellington, lost a chunk of her upper lip and suffered severe puncture wounds to her lower lip when she was attacked as she headed home from the railway station last Friday. She had urgent surgery at Hutt Hospital and is now recovering at home – though more treatment, including plastic surgery to remove scar tissue, is still ahead of her.

She was attacked by a mixed-breed dog that had no history of aggressive behaviour.
"I walk past that house twice a day en route to and from trains and it has never bothered me before," she said. (click on title to read more)

The lady said that the dog just appeared out of no where... the dog was in the yard at the time. I remember walking my dog last week where a dog just appeared out of nowhere and started having a go with Holmes, my dog. Poor thing had to defend himself and he did a good job too! The owner of that dog said that she couldn't understand it as he 'never did that before'. Hum....
