A horse in Kurri Kurri has been left battered and bruised after being attacked by dogs.
The much-loved equine, known as George, was grazing in a paddock on Boundary Street when the animals set upon him, leaving him with exposed bones and gaping wounds on his face and side.
The horse was saved by a neighbour, who used a milk crate to fight off the dogs, who are described as medium sized with a grey-black coat.
It follows last Tuesday's Great Dane Attack on a Mayfield toddler which saw him undergo surgery to reattach parts of his ear and resulted in the dog, known as Rossco, being put down.
The attack on 3-year-old Tom Higgins was the 3rd dog attack on a child this month.
On March 3rd, a baby girl was mauled to death by a pet dog at Inverell; with the recent attacks sparking warnings from animal experts to vigilantly monitor pets' behaviour.
