A 'dangerously out of control' dog left a seven-year-old boy needing plastic surgery after it attacked him as he played in a friend's garden. Freddie Turner was left with numerous bite marks following the incident.
It is thought the youngster was one of at least three people attacked by the dog which has been described as being like an Alsatian. Police have said two other reports had been made to then of people being bitten by the animal.
One of the other reports is said to have happened just minutes after Freddie was attacked on April 20. The hunt for the owner was still ongoing six days later when the third victim reported he had been bitten.
