UK: Girl, 5, left with 'gruesome' injuries after asking to stroke dog outside shop
A five-year-old girl was rushed to hospital after being attacked by a dog outside a shop in what her family have described as a 'horrific nightmare'.
She is now undergoing skin graft operations on her left cheek, with her parents Danielle Kemp and Alex Nichol by her side in hospital. Kirsty Lavender, a family friend, is helping raise funds to send the youngster to Disney after her horrifying ordeal.She told The Mirror: “She’s beautiful, funny, bubbly, polite, just an all-round amazing child. We are all hoping this doesn’t take her personality and confidence away.
Kirsty said: “After the attack her dad scooped her up and ran home... So her sister Alexie-Leigh did see Farrah-Leigh’s face, so I can’t imagine what she’s feeling. She’s with her nanna at the moment.” “She had one operation yesterday and she’s got to go down again Tuesday morning and then wait two weeks and have another operation. Her mum and dad are a little bit lost. We are doing everything we can to make it easier on the family.”Kirsty said the youngster asked her dad if he could stroke the dog and Alex said yes but insisted they asked the owner beforehand too. Dad Alex later confirmed he'd given his daughter permission to stroke the dog - but the animal then suddenly turned on her.
