Attack dog put to sleep
A DOG that mauled a child’s face has been put down.
Andrew Osborne, 5, was playing with his twin Matthew and eight-year-old brother Jamie near their home, in Easthouses, Midlothian, when the small black dog attacked him.
A Lothian and Borders Police said they had tracked down the dog’s owners and they agreed that the animal should be destroyed.
A spokeswoman added: “No one has been charged.”
Andrew’s father Craig, 37, a mechanic, said his son has a “big scar” running from his cheek to the top of his lip.
