Girl, 3, attacked by dog in Antequera

ANTEQUERA – A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl is recovering from a fractured skull in Malaga Children’s Hospital after she was attacked by a dog. She was reportedly with her family at a restaurant in Antequera when they approached some dogs on a nearby property despite there being a sign warning that the animals were dangerous and having been told not to approach them.

One dog, a German Shepherd Great Dane cross, seized the girls head in its mouth for several minutes while two of the girl’s relatives attempted to pull it away.

According to local residents, the owner of the dog has all the necessary paperwork, although at the time of going to press, the Guardia Civil had not located the owner.
