A boy has been rushed to hospital after being attacked by a dog in Greater Shepparton.

The boy was attacked at 2.30pm on October 27 at Merrigum, a small town near Kyabram.

He was taken to Bendigo Hospital with facial injuries in a stable condition.

The population of Merrigum is just below 700 people.

It comes after a horrific dog attack at Dandenong earlier this month which left a young woman fighting for life.

Sunbury woman Christine was attacked by three American staffy-like dogs on her way to the milk bar in August.
