A woman was left with horrific facial injuries after she was mauled by a dog that she stopped to stroke in the street.
Sam Lodge was told the whippet-like dog was friendly before she went to pet it, she said. The 53-year-old was left in shock when it then 'went for her', Grimsby Live reports.
She needed 16 stitches in her face and will now need 'extensive surgery' to rectify the injuries on her face. Police are trying to find the person responsible for the dog.
