A traumatised family is appealing for help after a schoolgirl was attacked by a dog.
Emma Bramell, from Halewood, was walking her three younger children to school on Tuesday through their local woods when her youngest daughter, Annabelle Walker, was "suddenly on the floor". Emma told the ECHO a large dog came out of nowhere and was on top of her daughter and her children were "screaming".
She said: "The lady who had hold of the dog was saying she was sorry but my main concern was Annabelle. The dog kept trying to get her and the woman was struggling holding the lead, in the end I told her to get away from us.
