Dog leapt on Logan Trim as his mother stroked a puppy
A three-year-old boy could be scarred for life after he was savaged by a dog during a family picnic.
Logan Trim was left with horrific facial injuries when he was mauled by the black Labrador in a park at Poole Harbour, Dorset.
The attack was especially shocking as Labradors are known for having an excellent temperament and are friendly around children and other dogs, according to experts.
Recovering: Logan in the arms of his mother Lara SlingsbyThe youngster was left covered in blood, and needed 40 stitches to the wounds on his face after the shocking attack, which happened as his mother bent down to stroke a puppy.
The Labrador was not thought to be the puppy's mother.
Logan had been at the park with his mother Lara Slingsby, baby brother Eithan and his grandparents when they spotted a woman with a puppy and a black Labrador.

The 22-year-old carer, from Colehill, near Wimborne, said: 'The whole thing was just and was like something out of a horror film.
'Logan has had nightmares about it and has woken up saying "bad doggy, naughty doggy".
'If a dog does something like that to a child then it's likely to do it again.'
