A little girl has undergone plastic surgery after part of her mouth was ripped off by a dog in a Christmas Day attack.
Six-year-old
Demi Baines was walking to her home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, with
mother Karen Baines when she was mauled by the Staffordshire bull
terrier.
Ms Baines
described how the dog launched at her daughter and attached itself to
her face – leaving the little girl with horrifying facial injuries which
included a severed lip.
Demi was taken to Manchester Royal
Infirmary, where plastic surgeons have worked to reconstruct her mouth
in two separate operations.
Mother-of-three Ms Baines, 36, said: 'I feared for Demi’s life – I thought she could have been killed.'It was the most scary, terrible thing I have ever experienced.
'Demi’s injuries were horrific. They were something you wouldn’t even see in a horror movie.
'Her bottom lip was hanging off and the left hand side of her top lip was near enough gone.'
