The two-year-old was mauled by the family collie as he stroked the animal.<\/p>\n<p>Joshua Mann\u2019s parents have been told that he will need further surgery before he can return home to Brockworth, near Gloucester. His mother, Lisa Mann, 23, told Sky News she was shocked when she saw her son in hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought he was going to die. He looked in so much pain.\u201d She said. \u201c\u201dAll I wanted to do was pick him up and hold him, but I wasn\u2019t allowed. Joshua was stroking the sheep dog, Rossie, when she jumped up and latched onto his face. Rossie pulled him to the ground and wouldn\u2019t release him. His dad and others ran over and started punching the dog to get him to let go. You just need to be more aware, if a dog is not brought up around children, if they\u2019re not used to them, they can just go,\u201d Miss Mann said. \u201cPeople <strong>naturally think its pitbulls, rottweilers and the other dangerous breeds, but this was a collie<\/strong>. It\u2019s not usual that a collie would do this, but he wasn\u2019t brought up with children and snapped.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>An RSPCA spokeswoman stressed that dangerous dogs \u201care not defined by breed\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Numerous reports on the The Injury Lawyers blog are about dog bite related accidents. When we think of dog attacks, it\u2019s true that we think of the dangerous breeds of dogs and their owners who have them illegally in the UK. However this is not the issue this time. I\u2019m sure if Joshua\u2019s grandmother would have had any idea what her collie was capable of, then she wouldn\u2019t have let her grandson go near her.<\/p>\n<p>This attack is likely to affect Joshua for the rest of his life.
