Woman attacked by dogs

-

A woman is in hospital after being mauled by three dogs. The 60-year-old O¯ po¯tiki woman suffered deep cuts to her head, neck, abdomen and legs during the attack on Friday at a family home in the township of Te Kaha, in the eastern Bay of Plenty. She was in a critical but stable condition, a Tauranga Hospital spokespers­on said yesterday. The three dogs had been seized by the O¯ po¯tiki District Council and were being held at the pound, O¯ po¯tiki mayor John Forbes said. He understood the dogs – a rottweiler cross; a staffordsh­ire bull terrier cross; and a bulldog cross – belonged to the woman’s brother.
