A young girl was viciously attacked by a pit bull in Chesterville, Maine, sustaining extreme injuries that required more than 1,000 stitches. The incident occurred on February 18 at a neighbour’s home, where the six-year-old girl, Lily, had gone to visit her friend.
As Lily was sitting at the table, the dog lunged at her, prompting her to raise her shoulders in defence, a move that may have saved her life. The dog let go only when its owner walked into the kitchen, by which time Lily had sustained horrific injuries to her face and body.
