UNITED KINGDOM -- A three-year-old girl has been savaged by a husky dog, the second attack involving the breed in three weeks.
The incident happened in her back garden in Ballynacally, Co Clare, on Saturday afternoon.
She was walking across the garden with some other children when the usually placid family pet attacked her.
She sustained a number of serious injuries and was only saved from greater harm by the older girls who managed to scare the dog away.
The child was rushed to the Mid Western Regional Hospital in Limerick before being taken to Galway University Hospital later for further treatment.
