Description

A five-year-old boy has been savaged by a Rottweiler dog as he cycled with his parents near his home in Birmingham. The child was dragged from his bicycle and had to have twenty-one stitches in his arms, stomach and head after his father finally dragged the animal off his son. The owner of the dog, Joe Flynn, tells reporter John Hawkins that he still believes Rottweilers make great pets and he will continue to keep them, although he is sorry about what happened.
