Woman fighting for life after saving her granddaughter, 3, from vicious DOG ATTACK
QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA: In a horrific incident two aggressive dogs attacked a three-year-old toddler at her grandparents' home in Springwater Place, Algester, in Brisbane's south around 7 pm on Thursday, August 11. The grandmother saved the life of her toddler granddaughter from the jaws of the dogs by putting her life in danger. The two dogs attacked the little girl while they were being fed in the backyard of the house.
In the scary incident, the dogs ripped the child's face, horrifying Dina Puc, 63, who threw herself between the dogs and the child - but they then attacked her. Ms Puc is now said to be in critical condition and will undergo additional surgery after medics fought to save her life on Friday, August 12. The little girl, who was about three years old, had a serious face, neck, and chest wound that required extensive stitches.

"The dogs don't really like kids,'' shattered grandfather Robert Puc told DailyMail on Friday, August 12. "They were my own dogs." "The last couple of weeks, my granddaughter has been with me when I've been feeding them but last night one of the dogs got on her and just attacked her," Robert added.
''My wife jumped out and just covered her, lying on top of her whole body to protect her from the dogs, but they just latched onto her instead.'' He further added, ''They know my wife of course but they couldn't really see in the dark - it's not great light there. When she was facedown, the dogs had got no idea who she was.'' A neighbor who attempted to intervene was also injured when he fell from a wall while attempting to stop the dogs with sticks and wood.
Robert described how he struggled to drag the dogs away and save his wife and granddaughter from the bloodthirsty attack, but they were too strong for him. "I was out there pulling at them,'' he told Daily Mail. ''But they were too powerful. It was horrific."
"My wife saved my granddaughter. She's going to be okay - she's going to need some stitches. But my wife is not in a good way. It's very serious. She just went into surgery again today.'' The incident was not reported to the police, but emergency medicine paramedics treated the wounded in the aftermath of the attack, according to Queensland Ambulance Service.
"A female toddler was transported to the Queensland Children’s Hospital in a serious condition with chest, neck, and facial injuries,'' said a spokesman. ''A female in her 60s was transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a serious but stable condition with a significant head injury and neck pain." ''A critical care paramedic and an officer from the High Acuity Response Unit were onboard for transport.''
They added: ''A male in his 60s was transported to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition with back pain after he fell 1.5m from a retaining wall. This patient did not sustain any dog bites' 'The dogs were later apprehended by Brisbane City Council rangers and impounded pending a decision on their fate.
Their breed is unknown, but a neighbor saw the family walking two ''very big dogs,'' which she assumed were mastiffs and came up to their owner's waist. "Council attended an address in Algester on Thursday evening and seized two dogs from a private property,'' a spokesman said. ''Animal attacks are taken extremely seriously, and these animals are being cared for at the council's animal center while the investigation into this incident continues," they added.
