A young boy was left needing plastic surgery after being mauled by a dog as he played in his friend's garden. Freddie Turner suffered multiple puncture wounds in the vicious dog attack.
The seven-year-old was playing with friends in Wakefield last month when he was set upon by a dog on the loose. The youngster was rushed to hospital and had to undergo surgery after the dog "tried tearing him to bits."
Freddie is still recovering but is said to be dealing with the mental consequences of the attack. His father Nik told Yorkshire Live : "He keeps reliving it, and if he sees a big dog he tries to hide."
