A one-year-old boy has been hurt after a dog bite to his face – the third dog attack this week.

The boy was bitten by the dog and reportedly sustained a “gash to his eye” which caused bleeding.

Emergency services were called out on Friday night about 7.20pm to Stirling North after initial reports.

The parents declined SA Ambulance services to take the boy to a hospital.

This is the third reported dog attack this week after a volunteer had been rushed to Flinders Medical Centre after being bitten at the RSPCA’s Lonsdale shelter and another attack on a four-year-old at Paradise.
