A mum has revealed how her young son was left “unable to walk” after an out-of-control dog launched a savage attack on him and a friend as they played football. Kimberly Fulbirg, 34, said her son Giorgi Fulbirg-Taylor, 10, required plastic surgery after suffering dozens of agonising bite wounds across his arms and legs last week.
Giorgi was left with numerous puncture marks and deep gashes in the attack by what his mum called a "mixed terrier" dog. Mum-of-two Kimberly said Giorgi had been having a kickabout on a council playing field with a couple of friends when the black dog charged after him.
It first sunk its jaws into his legs then latched onto his arms, with frantic locals using a paint scraper to try to remove it before it went on to attack his pal, Jimmy. Kimberly, who was at home at the time of the attack, rushed Giorgi to hospital after he was brought home in a car by those who had witnessed the mauling. And the veterinary care assistant has now called on dangerous dog owners to get harsher sentences after her son was left fearful of his own pooches.
