Miss Wilson says that the dog's owner didn't check if her daughter was hurt and fled with his pet . Toddler Libby Jane had been climbing through a tunnel at the Yarrow Valley Country Park in Chorley when the dog entered and attacked her . 'She has been very, very lucky - it could have been a lot worse and the doctors have said she will have scars, but that as she grows they will fade. 'Libby is a real tough cookie, it has affected me and her dad a lot more than her. I think because she is so young she doesn’t really understand what has happened.' Terrified Mr Knight took his daughter home to Miss Wilson who rushed her to Chorley and South Ribble General Hospital. The brave youngster was given a course of antibiotics and sent home with the puncture wounds, one above her lip and one under her eye, left open to heal. The attack happened at the Yarrow Valley Country Park in Chorley, Lancashire while Libby Jane was with her father Alex Knight . Miss Wilson, who runs her own hair extension business, said: 'The owner didn’t even come over to check if Libby was okay, he just ran off. 'He must have seen or heard what happened, she was screaming. It is shocking - I just want him to come forward. 'If the owner had apologised or checked on Libby it would be a whole different ball game but he is obviously not bothered, and more concerned about his dog. 'Libby was traumatised, but she is okay now. She woke up last night shouting "dogs, dogs" so I think maybe she was having flashbacks about what happened.' A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: 'An officer has been out and spoken to the family to get more details and will be doing some follow up in the area. Inquiries are ongoing.'
