Teenager protecting friend 'mauled' by guard dogs

The mother of a teenager from Bedworth who was attacked by guard dogs says it was a 'nightmare' seeing her son covered in blood after the attack.

14-year-old Caleb Hoey stepped in to protect his friend who he claims was being attacked by two dogs.

Toni McEwen says it was a struggle to calm her son down.

I hope his injuries heal soon.

I think they look more like bad scratch marks.

Question , what in the world were 2 guard dogs doing off leash in a field?
Yes these do look like some bites, a few abrasions(as of glancing bites or nips through a pair of jeans/trousers.
If this had happened where I live, best case scenario for the dogs, animal control would've pick them up and quarantined them for at least a week. The owners would then be billed and then told to ensure the dogs are contained at all times.
Most likely however the dogs would have been dispatched immediately, no questions asked.
I know first hand how traumatizing it is to attacked and bitten/mauled by dogs. My physical scars have healed nicely(bareky discernable, but there is still deep seated emotional(if you will) scars that are still with me 45 years later.
I pray these people can deal positively with this event at all levels of their lives. Hopefully they won't loathe/hate dogs.
