A young girl underwent surgery after being the victim of a brutal dog attack.
The 12-year-old sustained injuries after she and her dog were attacked by two other pooches outside a primary schoo on Wednesday.
She was rushed to a nearby hospital with minor injuries to her upper and lower body but in an overall stable condition.
Her dad thanked a man named Mick Garratt, an off duty paramedic who helped treat the girl's wounds before the ambulance arrived.
Referring to Mr Garratt, the father wrote, “I owe you a beer,” on social media.
According to his Facebook post, doctors operated on the youngster yesterday.
Another good samaritan rushed the family's dog to the vet after it sustained life-threatening injuries.
Thankfully the pooch survived after a six-hour long surgery.
“Our dog ... is now recovering let’s hope there are no complications,” he wrote.
Local officials said the attack is currently under investigation, in Melbourne, Australia..
The two dogs thought responsible have now been seized, council officers said.
It comes just days after a 71-year-old man died after being mauled by seven dogs on his way to his neighbourhood store.
Freddy Garcia was walking to a store around 1.30pm when the horrifying attack took place.
Police received a call from a witness reporting that the man was being mauled by seven dogs, authorities told ABC news.
Authorities rushed to the scene and Mr Garcia was taken by air ambulance to hospital.
Four of the dogs were captured shortly after the mauling.
The three others were on the loose for an undisclosed period of time, before they were captured.
According to authorities, all seven of the dogs were a pit bull mix.
He was later pronounced deceased from wounds suffered during the attack, in in Fresno, Texas, on July 18, despite the efforts of medics at Memorial Hermann, a hospital in the downtown Houston area..
A statement from the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s office said that the owner was unknown until he was tracked down by a joint investigation with Fort Bend Animal Control and the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office.
