Three kids injured by their own dogs in less than two days.

In a recent string of frightening events, three children were rushed into emergency surgery after being viciously attacked by dogs. The first incident involved a six-year-old girl named Mia, who was viciously mauled by her family's pet dog, a two-year-old "Pocket Bully" named Bane. She required two rounds of surgery to repair the damage inflicted on her face.

This was just one of three horrifying attacks on children by dogs in the span of 48 hours. The first victim was a 16-year-old girl from Rossington who was attacked by a Cane Corso, a breed known to weigh up to 50kg. Graphic images show the extent of her injuries, which required reconstructive surgery. The dog responsible was put down by authorities at the scene.

Mia, unfortunately, became the second victim when her own pet dog attacked her. According to her family, the dog felt unwell and lashed out when Mia accidentally bumped into its belly. The poor girl suffered puncture wounds and lacerations on her face and hip. Her mother described the experience as one of the most traumatic events she has ever been through.

In another incident, a seven-year-old boy from Thorne was also attacked by a pit bull and had to be hospitalized for puncture wounds. The police shared graphic images of these attacks, all of which were carried out by family pets, as a warning to parents about the dangers these animals can pose to young children. They emphasized the need for owners to take more responsibility in preventing such attacks from happening.

Chief Inspector Cheney, who leads the force's work on dangerous dogs, explained that in just 48 hours, they have seen the painful consequences of dog attacks on innocent children. He stressed the importance of parents and owners being more vigilant and proactive in preventing such incidents. He also mentioned that children under the age of seven are at a higher risk of being attacked as they may not understand warning signs from dogs.

South Yorkshire Police have been overwhelmed with the frequency of dangerous dog incidents. In one alarming incident, armed police were called to three separate incidents involving out-of-control dogs in just 13 minutes. This has prompted authorities to take stricter measures against illegal and dangerous dogs. Since the ban on unregistered XL Bullies in 2024, over 4,500 suspected illegal dogs have been seized by the police.

In conclusion, these recent attacks serve as a reminder for all of us to be more cautious around dogs, especially when they are unfamiliar to us. The responsibility falls on both owners and parents to ensure the safety of children and prevent such tragedies from happening again. A few simple changes in routine and conversations with children about respecting a dog's space can make a huge difference in preventing these terrifying incidents. Let's all work together to protect our loved ones and prevent further harm from these dangerous and unpredictable animals.
