A mother said her two-year-old son was lucky to be alive after he was “horrifically” attacked by a pocket bully dog while trick or treating.
Danielle Gunston said she and four other adults and six children were knocking on doors in Bexhill on Halloween when a dog ran out and bit her son Alfred’s face.
He was left with a broken jaw, missing teeth, 15 small punctures and two deep lacerations on his cheek and neck, which the 33-year-old said could scar.
Ms Gunston, of Bexhill, East Sussex, is now calling for a law to require the owners of certain dog breeds to display a sign outside their house to warn people.
