SCARRED: Youngster Andrew Osborne was bitten by a dog
Little Andrew Osborne was playing with his twin brother outside his Midlothian house when he was savagely attacked in May.
The tot was knocked over as the dog leapt up and sunk its teeth through his right cheek, leaving him streaming with blood.
He needed three operations and 34 stitches after the horror attack, and is expected to be scarred for life.
Dog owner Frieda Lang said she knew nothing of the attack until police arrived at her door.
As cops questioned her, the 67 year-old realised the gate to her home had been left open and accepted that her eight year-old dog, Pip, was to blame.
She told police she wanted the dog “put to sleep” immediately.
Today (Thurs) Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard she was “considerably contrite and remorseful” over the attack.
