A toddler has been left traumatised after being bitten on the face by a dog in an unprovoked attack.
Eighteen-month-old Kelsie Male was thrown back onto the pavement after an Alsatian-cross lunged and sunk its teeth into her face - missing her eye by just millimetres.
Her mother Sophie Garth, 28, who was a few steps behind, desperately ran to her aid before the bloodied and bruised tot was rushed to hospital.
Doctors said she was lucky to have only suffered minor physical injuries - but her parents say the incident has left her deeply shaken.
