A mother has spoken of the harrowing experience of having to punch and kick an American Bulldog away from her four-year-old daughter. Amy Hobson, 32, pulled a bloody Luna-Ann Forsyth away from the animal while it pinned her to the ground at a friend's home, The Mirror reports.
The girl was then taken to A&E by taxi when 999 call handlers informed Amy that it would take several hours for an ambulance to arrive. The attack, which took place last Thursday (April 6) afternoon, left Luna-Ann requiring plastic surgery and 40 stitches on her face.
The child was operated on for over two hours, with doctors saying she will be left with permanent scarring. Amy said that she has fallen out with the dog owner when they allegedly kept the dog's location secret, refusing to give it up to the police for more than 24 hours.
