A mum has shared her horror as her three-year-old daughter was viciously attacked by a dog leaving her "black and blue".
Paula Gaughan lives with her three-year-old daughter Stella and regularly visits her parents, Tommy, 65 and Bridie, 60 who often babysit.
Her daughter is a lover of all animals and dreams of becoming a vet and took a strong liking to her grandparents’ neighbour’s dog, Peter, a terrier – who she would often feed treats.
