The little girl knew the animal
The animal had already become familiar with the little girl in the past. Despite this, when the little girl started playing with him, the dog bit her on the cheek, also damaging her jaw.

Surgery for the little girl
In the following hours, the little girl had to undergo surgery on her facial bones. The operation was successful and was performed at the Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital in Bergamo, where she had been transported by helicopter in emergency last night.

The cosmetic reconstruction surgery will only take place in the next few days and will most likely require multiple operations.
Doctors, however, explained that, given the type of attack he had suffered, the situation could have been even worse.
