Ireland has just 60 wardens for 200,000 dogs and that is not enough to prevent another horrific attack like Wexford boy Alejandro Mizsan's, it is claimed.
Young schoolboy Alejandro was left with life-changing injuries recently after a vicious pitbull’s mauling as he played on a green space near his home in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford.
The pitbull was not muzzled and was not on a leash and nine-year-old Alejandro will not be home from hospital for Christmas.
