Boy mauled by a Drunk Dog
A 10-year-old boy attacked by a drunk dog. The Staffordshire bull terrier mauled Joseph Pickering after a minutes of forcing to drink a can of Stella Artois by the uncle's owner. The boy was bitten in the face by the dog after leaning over his next door neighbour's fence to stroke it.
The boy rushed to the hospital with a facial wounds just above his eye and needed a skin graft to treat the injury. The dog named Diesel was said to be a "generally good-natured dog" before the incident, so a civil action was brought under the Dangerous Dogs Act for failing to keep the animal under proper control. An application for the dog's destruction was also brought by police but was not granted. The dog's life was spared when an animal psychologist David Gilman told the magistrates the beer was to blame - not the dog.
