A boy mauled by a dog as he played outside was saved by neighbours who rushed to his rescue - grabbing the animal's genitals in a desperate bid to distract it. Three-year-old Denis Jano, was taken to hospital with face and scalp injuries and bruising following the incident.
Residents told how they fought to pull the animal off the little boy and stop the attack on Monday (April 17). One reportedly grabbed the dog ‘by the b*******’ to make it release its grip.
The XL bully dog has been destroyed following the incident in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, the Mirror reports. A woman, 42, has been arrested on suspicion of allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control.
