A schoolboy "turned grey and collapsed" when he got to the hospital after being chased by a dog.
Gethin Bennett was enjoying a walk in The Beacons woodlands in Heswall at around 6.30pm yesterday (Monday, June 27) when he heard barking behind him. He turned round to see a "small white dog" hurtling towards him and ran.
The 13-year-old has a fear of dogs that has haunted him since he was younger and was startled when he saw the dog running towards him. As he attempted to sprint away he tripped on a branch and banged his head on the floor.
