Dog destroyed after Masterton attack
Flesh around a man's nose was left in shreds after he was mauled by a pit bull dog at the weekend.
The dog was put down yesterday.
Masterton District Council dog control destroyed the dog, which attacked the 66-year-old man early on Sunday. The wounds in the man's face needed 25 stitches.
It was the second dog attack in Masterton in less than a week that has left its victim with the prospect of permanent scarring.
Ranger Craig Robinson said that in the latest attack, a pit bull terrier had charged from a Winslow St house and lunged at the victim's dog as they were walking past the property. MORE>>
