Dingo attacks toddler

Yes, it’s obvious, but you know we’re going to say it. “The dingo attacked by bay-bee!”

A THREE-year-old girl has been bitten by a dingo on Queensland’s Fraser Island.

The girl was at Eurong, on the eastern side of the island, when she was knocked over by the dog and bitten on the back and buttocks on Tuesday.

It is expected that Queensland Parks and Wildlife rangers will shoot the dog if it can be identified.

It is the fifth such incident in 12 months, with three other dingoes having been destroyed.

The attack prompted Sustainability Minister Andrew McNamara yesterday to urge all visitors heading to the island for the September school holidays to be wary of the wild dogs.
