Two Cane Corsos seized after two separate dog attacks in South Yorkshire
One of the attacks left a woman needing plastic surgery
Two Cane Corso dogs have been seized after two separate dog attacks in South Yorkshire over the weekend.
Police were first called out on Friday (October 18) to reports a woman in her 30s had been attacked on a sofa by one of the dogs.
She needed hospital treatment, including plastic surgery.
The following day (October 19) officers were called to an incident where a Cane Corso had bitten its owner, after getting into a fight with an XL Bully.
The victim was also treated in hospital.
Police are now reminding people to take steps to keep themselves and their animals safe from harm.
Chief Inspector Emma Cheney of South Yorkshire Police said: “We are approaching a time of year where routines may change, children may be off school, dressing up in costumes and you may have more visitors to your home, or planned events.
“It is important as an owner you put measures in place to protect you, your family and your pets.
“Dogs that have experienced stress or anxiety can take a few days to return to their normal behaviour, it is important to be aware of changes in your dog’s actions and reflect your routine to keep everyone safe.”
