Garda probe after child is bitten by dog in terrifying attack in Limerick

A young boy, who was bitten by a dog, has sparked a garda investigation. 

Gardaí have confirmed that investigations are ongoing concerning a child who was bitten by a dog at a property in Garryspillane, Limerick on Tuesday, September 26. 

The extent of the boy's injuries have not yet been disclosed, nor has his age, the canine’s breed or the relationship between the boy and the dog.
