A picture of the American Bulldog who attacked a four-year-old girl, resulting into her having 40 stitches in her face, has been released.

The little girl who goes by the name Luna-Ann Forsyth was pinned to the ground by the large white American bulldog, which had to be punched by her mother, Amy Hobson to make the dog to release her from its firm grip.

The sad incident unfolded at a friend’s home Nuneaton, Warwickshire, on Thursday afternoon.

Ms Hobson had to take Luna to hospital by taxi after call handlers said an ambulance would take several hours.

When they arrived, Luna was rushed for treatment and suffered the ordeal of 40 stitches in her face from the wounds.

She told the Mirror: ‘The dog came up to me so I gave him a fuss like I always have done, my daughter Luna shouted the dog’s name so she could fuss him just like she always has done.

‘It got hold of her face and got her to the ground.

‘I was kicking and punching the dog to get him off her and I got my little girl off the floor, and called 911 straight away.

‘They said they couldn’t get an ambulance out to me, it was going to be a few hours for them to get to me, so I got a taxi to A&E.

‘There was loads of blood. Luna was calm and brave, it was me that was panicking and crying.’
