DOG ATTACKS WOMEN.
SERIOUS INJURIES SUSTAINED. AIREDALE GOES MAD. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE IN N.-S.W. (Received Sunday, 5.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, November 2. Two young women were attacked by a mad Airedale dog at Paddington yesterday. So severely bitten was Miss Myrtle Miller that her life is despaired of. The dog apparently was affected by the severe heat, as in the past it had been perfectly docile. It first attacked Miss Stephen, aged 24, and bit her on the side and forearms. It then rushed at Miss Miller, aged 16, who was washing dishes, and bit her on the legs, thighs and arms. One wound required twenty stitches Miss Miller certainly would have been killed but for the intervention of a young man who seized the dog’s ears twisting them violently and retaining a tenacious hold until the police arrived and shot the dog. Miss Miller was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
