Dog Attacked young girl, your face was damageed
Dog attack toddler left with 240 stitches after terrifying Staffordshire bull terrier struck

Mayzee Jo Gaspa, 18 months, was pounced in her own home and dragged her around the floor while her frantic mum tried to free her from its jaws

Little Mayzee Jo Gaspa inhaled four of her own teeth in the terrifying attack.

She needed 240 stitches and surgery to save her nose.

Mum Maria Dew, 34, released the shocking image as a warning to other parents and said: “Looking at her after it let go, I thought she was going to die.”

Maria told how the ­powerful Staffordshire bull terrier struck as she chatted to a ­neighbour who brought it into her home.

"Mayzee Jo was just in our kitchen standing by my leg. It just bit her and was dragging her round like a rag doll.

“I just kept hitting it in the mouth – it felt like a lifetime before I could get it off her but it was probably a couple of minutes.

"It was ­horrendous. She was screaming and there was blood everywhere.”

Dozens of residents at their block of flats in Archway, north London, overheard the commotion and described coming rushing to "a scene from a horror film".

Mayzee Jo's seven-year-old brother was playing outside and came running in at the sound of his mother's hysterical screaming.

"For a little baby to be screaming like that. The way the dog had her face, looking at her after it let go I just thought she was going to die.

"The only thing I was concerned about was making sure she was alive."

Paramedics airlifted the tot from her home in Archway, North London, to hospital.

Surgeons managed to save her nose and stitch up her face.

5 months on, the outgoing tot’s recovery has amazed Maria, dad Michael and brothers Teddy, nine, and John, eight.
