Print Edition
A FIVE-YEAR-OLD girl died of wounds after being bitten on the face and neck by a wolfhound in Hebei Province.
Police are guarding the village as the dog is still at large despite efforts to catch it.
The girl, identified as Sisi, was attacked on Sunday morning when she was playing with her eight-year-old brother near a cotton field in a village near Handan City.
Their grandmother and other villagers rushed to the scene after hearing the boy’s cries. They spotted a 1-meter- long grey wolfhound running into the cotton fields.
According to Sisi’s relatives, the girl was lying in a pool of blood and could hardly be recognized because of the bite marks on the face.
The upper part of her clothes was torn while blood flowed from deep cuts in her neck, Beijing Times reported.
The villagers called the hotline 120 before rushing her to a hospital in a private vehicle. She died on the way to the hospital, 40 minutes after the attack.
A 400-people search team was organized by police, including personnel from the firefighting department, to hunt down the blood-thirsty hound, but failed.
Sisi’s uncle said she was bitten badly in the neck that eventually led to her death. He said some of the families kept wolfhounds in the village, but he had no idea who was the owner of this one.
The wolfhound was seen again about 3pm the next day.Local police tried to shoot it down but avoided firing at the animal for fear of injuring people, Beijing Times reported.
Alarmed villagers are staying indoors in the evening as they wait for news of the animal’s capture, the report said.
