A SIX-year-old boy needed facial surgery and was almost blinded after he was mauled by a dog in Liverpool.
Claire Jones, 36, said son Drew Williams was playing outside his home on Gordon Drive, Dovecot, on Saturday afternoon when a woman passed walking two dogs.
Claire said: “I’ve always told him to ask permission before stroking a dog so he did and the lady said he could.
“But when he went to stroke it it just lunged at his face.”
Claire was in the house at the time but her other son Dominic, eight, came running in tell her what had happened.
She said: ”He was hysterical, I couldn’t get any sense out of him. He kept saying ‘blood’ and I assumed Drew had just fallen over.
“Then I heard him say ‘dog bite’.
“When I got out there it looked horrendous. I couldn’t even see where Drew had been bitten because of all the blood.”
By the time Claire got outside she said there was no sign of the woman and her two dogs.
Clare said: “At first I thought she must have walked away really quickly but we live on quite a long road and now I think about it I wonder if she had hidden in a garden or something.”
