Girl's face stitched after dog attack in Arrowtown
A seven-year-old girl is back with her parents in Arrowtown after a dog attacked her in a park on Saturday afternoon, biting her face.
Sergeant Andy Grant, of Queenstown, said the girl had been playing with friends at a reserve near Isabel Crt when a red heeler cattle dog rushed at her, jumped up and bit her jaw and temple.
The dog had been barking in its kennel when the owners took it out and tried to shut it in the house to keep it quiet, Mr Grant said.
It appears that this house didn't have a fence!
Another dog owner not understanding 'dog' and its needs. Who pays? those that do.
However, the dog bolted, ran to the reserve and bit the girl, he said.
(...)Police would liaise with dog control officers today to decide if the dog would be destroyed and charges laid against the owners, Mr Grant said.
