A stray dog attacked a child in Kirkuk, seriously injuring him, the child’s father told NRT.
On Saturday, seven-year-old Rojyar left home to play in the Darwaza neighborhood of Kirkuk but was later brought home with severe injuries and a bloodied body.
Rojyar’s father told NRT that his son’s head was torn open and required 35 stitches. "The scene was so terrible that I will never let my children leave the yard door again,” the father said.
According to unofficial statistics, 35 cases of dog attacks on children have been recorded in Kirkuk so far this year, and one child has died as a result.
