Dog Attack Leaves Man Dead

A man has died after getting involved in separating a fight between two dogs in Blackpool. The victim was bitten by both animals in a house in Reads Avenue on Friday evening. The dogs, which were both German Shepherds, were owned by the person with whom the victim shared the property. Both dogs have since been destroyed under the direction of the owner.

According to NHS statistics the number of people attending A&E as a result of dog attacks stands at nearly 3,800 a year. The statistics also indicate that young children are particularly vulnerable to these attacks. The injuries received as a result of dog attacks can be very severe and can cause real damage psychologically to victims.
