'It was terrifying - the next child may not be so lucky' – Dudley mum shares horror after three-year-old bitten by dog
A mother-of-three today told of the horror after seeing her three-year-old son being bitten by a Rottweiler-style dog.
Three-year-old Theo Ainsons was bitten by a large "Rottweiler type of dog" on his forearm in Claycroft Place near to Cross Walk, Lye, requiring him to undergo treatment.
Now, mother-of-three Abbi Jones has told her experience of seeing her son bitten to the Express & Star, saying that she wants to raise awareness over the dangers of dog bites, and the importance of animal safety.
Abbi Jones, 22, from Lye, Stourbridge, said: "Theo is okay now, it has been hard for him, but he is okay.
"It was terrifying when it happened, I was really struggling the first few days, but seeing him happy and safe again and seeing him back to his old self has really helped."
Theo suffered a puncture wound that extended to the bone, however, due to the swift work by emergency services and surgery staff, Theo is on the road to recovery.
Ms Jones added: "It came out of nowhere really. It was his father's day to have him so I was taking him to get the bus and suddenly the rottweiler- type dog just latched onto him as he was walking past.
