'I was attacked by a sausage dog - it ripped off my cheek off and ate it'

A single mum who had part of her cheek ripped off when she was attacked without warning by a friend’s pet dachshund has said her “life has been ruined” and her self-esteem “absolutely destroyed” by the scar the dog left behind.

Kelly is seeking compensation after learning that the dog had allegedly already attacked two people, but this could take several years. “I now have to buy camouflage make-up for people who have facial disfigurements – that’s something I never thought I would have to do. I’m a single mum and I can’t afford my electric and gas most weeks – it just seems so unfair.”

“I turned my head towards the back door, where my friend was standing,” said Kelly. “He didn’t bark or growl, or make any noise, he just lunged and attached to my face. As Kelly stumbled to her feet, the dog bit her again, this time on her arm. Fortunately, she was able to break free and run out of the room.

“They then poured water over me for five minutes, which felt like I was being waterboarded. It was horrific.” The ordeal has taken a heavy toll on her mental health and knocked her confidence. “My self-esteem has been absolutely destroyed and I don’t go out any more,” said Kelly.
