The boy suffered head and neck injuries in the attack on Fraser Island off the northeast coast and was taken to hospital.

LONDON - A dingo dragged a sleeping toddler from a camper van on a popular Australian holiday island late on Thursday, but his father awoke and pulled his 14-month-old son from the jaws of the dog-like dingo.

Australia’s dingo is a protected species on Fraser Island and is a popular attraction for camping tourists. The latest dingo attack was the third this year on Fraser Island. Azaria’s mother Lindy was jailed for three years over her daughter’s death before later being cleared, but it wasn’t until 2012 that a court ruled that a dingo killed Azaria.

Dingoes hold a significant place in the spiritual and cultural practices of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
