A boy who was severely attacked by a dog in Faversham, Kent, has been taken to hospital.

The unidentified boy was airlifted from his home in the Bloomfield Road area.

At around 14:15 yesterday, the police were called to the address and the dog was removed from the house.

According to police, the boy was taken to a London hospital with “many injuries” but nothing life-threatening.

This has been a series of dog attacks in the UK in recent months, some of which have resulted in life-threatening injuries and deaths.

4-year-old Harley Chatterton needed 60 needles after being attacked by 1-year-old Jackador in Glasgow.

Doctors warned her parents that she could be permanently damaged by the May 14 attack.

In the same month, 3-year-old Daniel John Twig was identified as a young boy killed by a dog at a facility in Rochdale.

In March, 17-month-old Bella-Rae Birch died in St. Helens after she was hit by her family’s dog.

Jack Leeds, 10, was beaten to death by an eight stone dog named “Beast” while visiting a friend in Caerphilly, South Wales, last November.

The dog owners, Brandon Hayden, 19, and Amy Salter, 29, were arrested in June.
