A NINE-year-old girl was left needing surgery after she was mauled by a dog at a Christchurch play area.
The youngster is recovering from her injuries in hospital and the dog, described as an English Bull Terrier-type, has been destroyed with the consent of the owner.
The owner of the dog, believed to be Christchurch woman Paige Robertson, has been reported for owning a dog dangerously out of control.
Police said the animal had to be pulled away from the little girl as she stood near the Quantock Court Playground in Hunt Road,
Somerford on Monday night.
