Yuen Long toddler attacked by pack of dogs

A toddler suffered numerous bites all over his body when a pack of eight stray dogs attacked him in Yuen Long yesterday.

The 14-month-old boy, Chow Shui-lan, was bitten on the head, left arm, back and buttocks while alone in a small yard outside his home in Ma Tin Pok village on Tai Shu Ha Road East.

Neighbours said the dogs, which Shui-lan had been playing with, suddenly attacked him at 3pm.

Shui-lan's mother rushed out of the house when she heard her son's screams and chased off the dogs with a man.

'He was bitten quite seriously. There are wounds on his head, arms, back, foot, almost everywhere,' the man said.

Shui-lan was in stable condition in Tuen Mun Hospital last night.
