Dogs law 'cannot come soon enough'

Aug 31 2010

New legislation to tackle dangerous dogs "cannot come soon enough" after a 10-year-old girl was mauled by two rottweilers, campaigners have said.

Rhianna Kidd was attacked by the dogs while riding her bicycle in Dundee on Sunday. The primary school pupil was treated for a fractured jaw and has had to have plastic surgery.

Caroline Kisko, of the Kennel Club, which has been campaigning for a change in the law regarding dangerous dogs, said: "People deserve to feel safe around dogs and the new legislation cannot come soon enough."
