WARNING: Graphic images - Georgia was attacked by a dog when she knelt down to grab rubbish off the floor and now won t even go near her own pet
A teenager needed 25 stitches to reattach her lip after she was mauled by a dog.
Georgia Wilson-Wheeler, 18, was putting the bin out for her mum after last-minute confusion over changes to collections when she noticed that a dog was hanging around near their bins.
After shooing the dog away, she knelt down to pick some rubbish off of the floor, only for the dog to come back and attack her.
After Georgia knelt down to pick up some rubbish, the dog pounced and ripped off the teen s lip. She was dashed to A&E and needed urgent treatment to the severe facial wounds.
Georgia s family, who believe the dog was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossed with a Pitbull, have contacted police who are investigating.
And the college student s furious mum Cheryl Wilson believes the same dog may be linked to other recent attacks in Grimsby, Lincs. Speaking with the police, they re looking into it being the same dog causing all the trouble in the area, as well as looking at CCTV on the shop nearby to see if they can get a good look at it, the 43-year-old said.
