Neighbour Helen Edgar told the Sunday Mail newspaper that an eight-year-old girl mauled by two bulldogs is a "lovely girl."

She is a lovely girl and popular with all the other children.

She was just playing in the back court and having fun, just like any normal eight-year-old.

We are all hoping and praying now that she pulls through.

My thoughts are with the family. We have to take robust action to deal with this, and we have to give the victim all the support we can.

It always seems to be children who find themselves in this position.
