BITTEN BY A DOG.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT TO LITTLE BOY. The best trained and most docile of dogs become ferocious when indulging in a meal. This fact was exemplified with very painful consequences on Sunday evening when Roy, the old son of' Mr and IVlrs IC. Easton, of Norbiton Road, was bitten on the face by an otherwise trustworthy dog. Some meat was given to the dog and as the little boy was passing, the animal reverting to a natural instinct, turned.on the child and inflicted a severe wound on the forehead and o|er the eye. Dr. Wyllie attended the child and. ordered his removal to Palmerston hospital where he was placed under the care of an eye specialist. It will not be known for a few days whether the injury to the eye will affect the sight. The child is progressing satisfactorily and the dog-has been destroyed.
