A BOY has been mauled by a dog while saving his toddler brother from being attacked.<\/p>\n

Caio Lewis, 10, was playing with his two-year-old brother Jac in his father's front garden in Cross Hands, Carmarthenshire, on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

It was then that a French bulldog ran into the garden.<\/p>\n

Realising quickly the potentially serious implications of what could happen, Caio ran towards his little brother to defend him against any potential attack.<\/p>\n

"The boys were playing at their dad's house when the dog ran straight for Jac," said Caio's mum Lara Poyer, who lives in Llanelli.<\/p>\n

"Caio noticed the dog running straight for Jac and he went straight over and pushed him out of the way.<\/p>\n

"As Jac ran back towards the house the dog bit Caio on his thigh."<\/p>\n

Lara took Caio to Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli and after a wait of several hours he was treated with a dressing over the cut and given a six-day course of antibiotics.<\/p>\n

He is now on the mend and is grateful that his little brother was not bitten, as his injuries could have been much more serious given his much smaller size.<\/p>\n

"He's a bit sore but he's doing well," said Lara. "We're very proud of him – he showed a lot of sense and bravery to jump in front of Jac. <\/p>\n

"The dog owner has been very apologetic about what happened. <\/p>\n

"I don't want the dog to be destroyed because it's a rescue dog and it's obviously had a difficult upbringing previously."<\/p>\n

Lara was mindful, however, that the situation could have had a far more serious outcome had Caio not been there or acted as quickly as he did.<\/p>\n

She added: "Where the dog bit Caio was the equivalent of his brother's head in terms of height because Jac is so small, so it could have been a lot worse."<\/p>\n

Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed it had been notified of the incident and that officers were making enquiries.<\/p>\n
