A five-year-old boy has been hospitalised after being mauled by a dingo while playing on the beach, as Australian authorities say the wild dog will not be euthanised.
The child had been visiting Ocean Lake campground on the island of K’gari, Queensland on Sunday afternoon with his parents when he was approached by the dingo.
The wild dog jumped on him and started biting him while the boy's father raced over to separate the pair.
