Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Amy said the dog was upstairs in a room which had its door closed. But the dog handled to unlock and came diminishing the stairs.
Amy said: “The dog came near me so I offered him a hassle like I constantly have actually done, my child Luna screamed the dog’s name so she might fuss him much like she constantly has actually done. He acquired her face and got her to the ground.
“I was kicking and punching the dog to get him off her and I got my little lady off the flooring, and called 999 quickly. They said they couldn’t get an ambulance out to me, it was going to be a couple of hours for them to get to me, so I got a taxi to A&E.”
Luna-Ann needed cosmetic surgery and 40 stitches on her face throughout an operation lasting for over 2 hours. She was at first required to the George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton prior to being moved to University Hospital Coventry, ultimately returning home on Saturday night.
Amy, who copes with her family on the very same street as her friend, now says she has actually fallen out with them. She has actually declared that her previous friend concealed the dog from cops for more than 24 hr, with cops verifying an examination has actually now been introduced.
Amy included: “There was loads of blood. Luna was calm and brave, it was me that was panicking and sobbing. Even after whatever, she is still smiling.”
