Pay the price as if you did it yourself

If you have a dog, and it does something like this, then you should pay the penalty as if you did it yourself.

A boy could be scarred
for life after a vicious dog attacked him as he played in a park.

Mohammed Ali Kamal, 10, has undergone two operations to repair a huge
hole ripped in his leg by the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

The horror unfolded as the youngster’s family and friends were just
yards away celebrating his sister Sofeya’s first birthday at their Miles
Platting home. His parents, Irfan and Wendy Kamal, heard their son’s
screams and rushed outside to help him.

But the dog – which has been put down – then lunged at Wendy, 36,
repeatedly trying to savage her legs.

The pair managed to fight the dog off – before it was able to sink its
teeth into Wendy.

Mohammed, known as Ali, was left in agony – with a fist-sized lump of
skin and muscle torn from his leg.

He was taken to North Manchester General Hospital by ambulance and later
transferred to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital because his
wounds were so severe.

The boy, a pupil at Park View Community School in Miles Platting, had a
three-and-a-half hour operation to clean up his wounds and had to
undergo more surgery last night.

His devastated parents still do not know if he will ever fully recover –
and have been warned that he could need plastic surgery to try to
repair the damage.

Ali is a promising footballer for Delamere Rangers FC, a club associated
with Manchester City – and had hopes of a career in the game but now
his parents don't know if he will play again.

Irfan told the M.E.N: “The dog just came from nowhere and started biting
Ali's legs. I tried to push the dog away but then it turned on my wife.

“Ali's legs were in a very bad condition and he was in so much pain. The
dog was very aggressive – it wanted to attack anyone. It seemed to have
a taste for blood and tore a massive hole in his leg.

“It was one of the worst things to see in my life. It was sickening but
Ali was so brave – he could have been killed.”

The attack happened as Ali played football with cousin Ben Boyd, nine,
in a park area opposite his home on Sealey Walk.

Ben managed to escape without any injuries but was left distraught by
the ordeal.

Mum Wendy added: “I'm still in shock now – it nearly took his leg off.
To see your son like that is horrible.

“It makes me so mad to think this dog was on the loose and not with its
owner. If you can't keep your pet under control then you shouldn't have
one.

“Ali is doing OK in hospital – he was more upset about missing a match
for Delamere than anything else.”

A police spokesman confirmed the incident, which happened at about
7.15pm last Thursday, and said it was being investigated. It is
understood that the dog had escaped from a nearby garden.

The owner of the dog refused to comment when approached by the M.E.N,
but said the animal has been destroyed.

I though these sought of dogs had to be muzzled, is it just me or does this law seem to have been laxed or forgotten lately. These useless fuckwits of owners should be locked up, end of, no use in fining them as they never end up paying it back. God help any owner if this ever happened to my daughter, i swear i'd do time.

"It is understood that the dog had escaped from a nearby garden"

With these kind of "animals", make sure it fucking well can't. I'M NOT FUCKIN INTERESTED IN EXCUSES!

Stories like this are all too common now......drives me fuckin mad! (sorry for the language)

If the dog escaped from somebody elses garden.....the desk sergeant would have processed me by now on a murder charge x2...the dog and it's fucking owner.

My WW2 bayonet would have come into play.

These dogs are bred for one thing......but then again, a parent of a kid on my sons football team has one, and it's soft as shit........but then again, i guess its down to how you bring it up - just like your kids.

They are good natured dogs in general it's practically always an arsehole owner who turns these dogs and tars them all with the same brush

I agree - however, when do you hear a Jack Russell or Chihuahua attacking a kid? There is something within them that makes them turn...but the owners make them aggressive i agree.

They should face a charge similar to as if they did the damage themselves...no accountability against the owners.
