A 4-year-old girl has sustained face injuries after she was attacked by a stray dog at a house in Nongprue this morning (Oct 8).
The girl’s mother, Mrs. Patcharin Taweesuk, 32, told The Pattaya News that she was going to take her daughter to kindergarten. Her daughter was in front of the house on Soi Pattanakan 15 waiting to leave for school.
The stray dog reportedly ran towards her before attacking her. Mrs. Patcharin took her daughter to a hospital where she was given seven stitches on her cheek. Mrs. Patcharin said the dog was not provoked in any way.
