Boy's shocking injuries after dog attack at school
A Melbourne boy is nursing injuries to his face after he was mauled by two stray dogs.
Mahyar Tashnizi, 6, told 7News he was attacked by the two dogs, once believed to be a German Shepherd, at Baden Powell College in Tarneit last Friday after he arrived.
He told 7News he was “pretty scared” and one of the dogs was large enough it could fit his entire head into its mouth.
“He jumped and pushed me and quickly bit my face and ran off,” he said.
One of his friends managed to scare the dogs off. His mum is concerned the injuries could have been worse and Mahyar could have lost his eyesight.
