According to dad Rowen, who says he had to "hold the skin on [Bunnie's] arm together" while she awaited treatment, the dog was a small, sandy-coloured Cockapoo. Kent Police confirmed officers are investigating. Rowen said: "It happened parallel to the school on the main road. I was just walking home after the school run. The path is quite narrow, and a woman was walking her dog on the actual road itself. "Then, out of nowhere, the dog just lunged for my daughter and pulled her to the floor. The owner managed to pull the dog off, but when she did that, it ripped her skin open. I was so shocked. All I had to stop the bleeding was my hands. I had to basically hold her skin together." Rowen said: "People who saw what happened came over and said that my daughter hadn't even put her hand out to the dog. The woman just disappeared. She didn't leave any details or anything." Bunnie was rushed to Medway Maritime Hospital and then transferred to St Thomas' in Westminster the next morning. There, she had several X-rays to ensure the puncture hadn't hit her bone, before undergoing plastic surgery. According to her dad, Bunnie has been left shaken following the incident. She will need to return to hospital within a week for a check-up, and to assess whether she will need further work done. Rowen said: "She's doing well now. She's just a bit shaken and keeps talking about how scared she is of the dog. "She also has a lung condition and really bad asthma so she had to be marked down as a high-risk category for sedation. It's really upsetting that the woman didn't stop because it makes you fear for the safety of other kids." A Kent Police spokesperson confirmed an investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information that could assist officers' inquiries, including CCTV or doorbell footage, should contact police on 01634 792209, quoting 46/102876/25.

The six dog breeds most likely to get DIARRHOEA revealed by scientists – and why Jack Russells evade dreaded ‘poonami'
There may even be a "genetic element to the condition," the study said COCKA-POO! The six dog breeds most likely to get DIARRHOEA revealed by scientists – and why Jack Russells evade dreaded 'poonami' SCIENTISTS have revealed the six dog breeds most likely to suffer from diarrhoea. It turns out some pups are unfortunately more susceptible than others.

The study, published today in the journal PLOS One, revealed that the following dog breeds are most at risk of a "dreaded poonami": Maltese Miniature Poodle Cavapoo German Shepherd Yorkshire Terrier Cockapoo There may even be a "genetic element to the condition," the study said. That means there's something within the genes of these six breeds that makes them more likely to get diarrhoea than others. Advertisement With a pool of about 2.25million dogs, lead author Dan O'Neill, of the Royal Veterinary College, UK, and his colleagues, discovered that there were two breed least likely to suffer. According to researchers, the Jack Russell Terrier and Chihuahua are less likely to experience the messy condition. The researchers note that it is the diets and exercise habits of different breeds may influence this. The study relied on data from vets around the country.

Dogs prefer EVs to fuel-powered cars with heart rates revealing exactly how your pet feels on drive, study shows The condition is most common in dogs under three years old or older than nine years, the study said. Young pups that often eat things they shouldn't may also have digestive issues, while older dogs may experience it as a complication of ageing. More than 80 per cent of suffering pups get better after one trip to the vets, the researchers also found, suggesting the condition is short-lived.

"This new study shows that diarrhoea events are very common in dogs but that owners should not panic.
