Eight-year-old girl injured by 'aggressive' dog attack while rollerskating

A little girl has been injured after she was bitten by what police believe to be a miniature Schnoodle. Eight-year-old Betty Williams was trying out her new rollerskates that she got for Christmas, by the colourful beach huts in Barry Island, when she was attacked by a dog out of nowhere, claims her mum.

On Monday, January 2, Aimee Williams, 30, from Caerphilly, took her children out for a new year's walk by the seaside when the incident occurred. She said: "I took my two children to Barry Island for a nice day out so my daughter could have a go on her new skates that she had for Christmas. My son, Carter, was on his scooter ahead when out of nowhere a dog off the lead attacked my daughter and bit her on the back of her leg."

She added: "Her scream was horrendous - it will stay with me forever. She was to the left of me and all I heard was this aggressive dog noise before her scream. I was panicking and grabbed Betty. The owner then called the dog back and chucked her on the lead.
