A woman has suffered horrifying facial injuries after being attacked by a dog she was told was friendly. The shocking scene unfolded on Friday, April 1 when Sam Lodge, 53, stopped on a street after spotting a whippet-like dog.
After asking its owner if it was friendly and being reassured it was, Sam bent down to pet it. However, the dog pounced on Sam and ripped chunks of her face off.
The terrible incident left Sam's nose cartilage exposed along with serious injuries that would require 16 stitches and extensive surgery on her head. Sam is now trying to grow the skin back on her face.
