Parents have been warned to never leave their small children alone with animals as it has surfaced that 1,159 children who were under the age of nine were admitted to hospital because of dog bites in 2014.
A charity has proposed ministers to reconstruct “ineffective” new laws designed to control dangerous dogs, following the figures that showed there had been 7,227 hospital admissions linked to dog attacks in the past 12 months.
