Girl, 4, bitten in face by dog

A FOUR-year-old girl has serious face injuries after she was savaged by a dog.

The unnamed youngster was playing in a friend’s garden when the crossbreed bit her on the head.

The girl is being treated in hospital after the attack in Preston, Lancashire.

A 40-year-old woman from the city was arrested on suspicion of having a dangerously outof-control dog.

She remained in custody yesterday for questioning.

A Lancashire Police spokesman said: “The dog has been seized by police.”
