A dog bit off my finger

Exclusive data obtained by the 大象传媒 shows police are recording a rising number of dog attacks in England and Wales. Records obtained through Freedom of Information requests show the number of dog attack offences recorded by officers has risen by a third between 2018 and 2022. 聽Since April 2016, police forces have spent more than 拢21m on kennels and vets bills for out of control dogs they've seized.
Many people who've been attacked by dogs are left with both physical and emotional scars.
For 5 Minutes On, the 大象传媒's correspondent, Danny Savage, has been hearing the stories of Sarah - a postie in Rotherham - and Lily - whose face was badly injured in an attack.
