A toddler who was attacked by a family dog had to be rushed to a hospital this past weekend.
The dog attacked the 1-year-old infant at a home located in east Hull.
The Humberside Police had been called to Preston Road region on the east side of the city on Saturday night. The child currently is being treated at the Hull Royal Infirmary for injuries which weren’t believed to be dangerous, as per a report by Hull Live.
The police immediately contained the dog and are thinking about what they should do with the animal.
Notably, in a previous case, a mother had warned about the hazards related to unrestrained dogs post her 9-year-old girl endured injuries in one Labrador attack last month at her aunt’s farmhouse. The girl, Lily-Fay Parfitt, screamt in agony due to the savage wounds on her lip and cheek when the pet dog charged sans any warning. The dog had taken off nearly 25% of the girl’s upper lip.
The girl’s mother, Kelly Parfitt, claimed that the surgeons had ranked her daughter’s injuries as 9.5 of 10 based on the scale of injury severity. She had then warned the other parents that all the dog breeds could be threatening and that they should keep their pets upon shorts leads near kids.

The no. of UK overnight workers over 50 years of age has risen in the country to nearly 1mn, suggests a new study. Over-50 workers account for around 924,000 of one record 3.2mn people who work regularly throughout the night.
The no. has risen by nearly 173,000 in the last five years as older individuals stay at work longer as well as with more of such jobs getting created, as per the study conducted by TUC (Trade Union Congress).
The study indicated that around 222,000 people above 60 years were working through night, which includes 69,000 people over 65.
As per the TUC, the no. of people working at night shifts regularly is not higher than the official records of 2005. In fact, the figure now is nearly 100,000 higher in contrast to what it was 5 years ago. Over-50 workers account for the entire increase in night shift work since the year 2014, whereas less of younger adults opt for late-night shifts, said the union.
According to Frances O’Grady, the general secretary of TUC, working at unsociable hours could affect the family life of a person as well as his/her health. As such, we all owe the Britain’s night workers army for keeping our nation ticking over at the time when others are asleep, she added.
