Dog attack: Brave boy saves sister from fatal bite

Two incidents in the USA and Austria have injured children in shocking dog bites.

The misfortune began in Austria when the ten -year -old daughter of the dog owner practiced her dog in the garden. Suddenly the dog attacked a six -year -old neighboring girl, the past. The dog bit the girl in the upper arm, shoulder and lower leg. In the tumult, the older sister tried to protect her neighboring girl, but was also injured. The seriously injured child was flown to the Kepler University Hospital in Linz with an emergency helicopter, like Orf.at reported.

A hero in need

In the dramatic incident in Michigan, Lillian got great danger when the neighboring dog, a pit bull, climbed through the fence and attacked the siblings.
