Children attacked by dogs

Five people, including two children and an elderly woman, were attacked by dogs in separate incidents in the North Island yesterday.

Two unregistered pitbulls attacked two children in Round Tree Place in the Auckland suburb of Takanini yesterday afternoon, said Papakura District Council manager of animal control Ken Muir.

"Kids were walking past the property and the dogs rushed out and bit them," said Muir. "When (the ranger) arrived, he was told one of the children had been taken to hospital".

Meanwhile, Muir said there had also been two other minor dog bite incidents in Franklin yesterday, including one on a postie . "In the last 10 days ... I don't know why, but we have had about three (dog bites) every other day (in his area)," he said.
