A six-year-old girl was brutally attacked by a dog and rushed to hospital with horrific injuries, and later needed more than 1,000 stitches.
The frightening incident happened on February 18 inside a neighbour's home in Chesterville, Maine, US, when mum Dorothy Norton took her daughter Lily to see her friend.
Lily went to sit at the table when the pit bull attacked, as Dorothy suddenly heard a loud scream and quickly rushed to her daughter.
