Woman Loses Arm in Dog Attack

A kennel worker has lost her arm and suffered other serious injuries in a dog attack in Salisbury.

It is reported the attack took place when the kennel worker was excercising the dog. She was to Salisbury District Hospital where her condition is reported as stable.

The dog, a Rottweiler, has been destroyed.

A spokesperson for New Forest District Council said:

“Whenever we have concerns that a dog may be dangerous, we pass the information on as a matter of course,” he said.

“In the case of this dog, it did not show any aggression either at the time it was seized or when it was seen at the kennels by our dog wardens.”

A health and safety investigation is set to be launched by the police.
