An expert on lions and tigers had to be called in to knock out a devil dog that mauled a defenceless kid, it has emerged.
The Irish Mirror has learned that the expert was called in to use a tranquiliser gun to sedate the beast after the incident – in which the young kid suffered serious injuries to his leg at his home in south Dublin.
The expert was called in by the Dublin City dog warden over fears that the large dog, believed to be a cross between a Pit Bull and a huge Presa Canario, was simply too large and dangerous to handle while awake.
