Dog bite
Joanne Grammer was savaged by a pit bull this week. It threw her to the ground and "ate" her she says, thrived off her fear. It was only the brave actions of her friend which saved her life. Joanne is the latest statistic in a summer of dog attacks. Throughout January, 40 people a day were bitten by dogs. Yet some politicians are proposing to loosen the leash on dog control laws. SUNDAY talks to Joanne and a young victim whose life was dramatically changed by a dog attack. We also meet the surgeon who stitched her together again.
