Three year old Connor Davies in hospital after being mauled by a Dog last Friday. The toddler who had a toe bitten off and needed 40 stitches to his face and body after being mauled by two Staffordshire Bull Terriers returned home yesterday, Thursday June 21, 2001. The unmuzzled puppies attacked Conor Davies as he played outside his grandmother's house with his five-year-old sister Jordan. The dogs injured his face and body completely biting off one of his toes which doctors failed to save despite 13 hours of surgery. Doctors have told his distraught parents that Connor may never be able to run or do gymnastics at school. See PA story ANIMALS Dog. PA Photo: Tim Ockenden.
