Kyle McSkimming was rushed to hospital after he was attacked by the shar-pei dog, called Hulk. The boy had been visiting his brother's house in Kettering, Northamptonshire, when the family pet clamped its jaws around Kyle's face when he went to put a bandana on the dog's back. Kyle McSkimming underwent a three hour operation and required 33 stitches after he was attacked by his brother's shar-pei dog
