A British family have spoken of "staring death in the face" after they were attacked by pack of wild dogs while climbing a mountain in Greece.
Stamatis Kapetanios, 52, had taken his son Danny, niece Roxy and nephew Teddy on a hike up a dormant volcano located to the west of Athens when they suffered injuries from a ferocious group of fifteen Rhodesian ridgebacks.
He had been walking around 30 metres ahead of the rest of the family on a signposted path up the mountain when he suddenly became surrounded by stray dogs, who appeared aggressive and quickly leapt towards him.
