I Was Getting Ready to Leave When the Dog Ripped Off My Face – Lady Reveals How She Survived Terrifying Dog Attack
A woman who suffered devastating facial injuries after being attacked by a dog has opened up about the incident and revealed the difficult journey she has faced through multiple surgeries. Get the latest updates on our WhatsApp channel.
The woman, identified as Samantha Redding, recalled how what was supposed to be a brief visit to a friend’s father’s house turned into a life-changing experience.
According to Samantha, she had gone to the house to pick up her friend, only to discover that she had already left to meet her at Samantha’s home.
She said she had spent only about 10 minutes inside the house and was preparing to leave when the dog suddenly attacked her.
“I was only in the house for about 10 minutes and I was getting ready to leave.
“I went to pick up my bag and the dog latched on to my face.
“The dog had never been nippy to me before.
“I actually can’t remember much from then except the dog growling and then the pain.
“Then I heard everyone shouting.
“I can’t remember how the dog got off.
“All I can remember is turning round after and seeing my face in the mirror and thinking my life was over.
“The dog was huge, taller than me when it stands on its back legs and probably weighs around the same as me, but it had never been nippy to me before.”
After the attack, Samantha managed to leave the house and contact her parents while she was being taken for medical treatment.
She said her parents initially thought she was joking when she called them because of the severity of what had happened.
“I facetimed them and all they said was they’d meet me at A&E.
“I wasn’t feeling much pain but I think that was the shock.
“My mum burst into tears when she saw me
“That’s when I realised how bad it was
“My face looked like something from a horror movie.
“I looked like a zombie and honestly I couldn’t see it getting better.
“There are times I wish the dog had killed me so I wouldn’t have to go through all of the operations.
“I thought I would look like a monster for the rest of my life.”
Doctors warned she needed several operations
Samantha was later transferred to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, where specialists assessed the extent of her injuries.
Doctors took her into theatre to clean the wounds and determine how badly her face had been damaged.
She was informed that she would need between three and four major operations as surgeons worked to reconstruct her face.
For Samantha, the prospect of undergoing repeated surgeries while dealing with the physical and emotional effects of the attack was overwhelming.
She said: “This was terrifying.
“I was in constant pain, unable to eat except through a tube and my mental health was obviously taking a dip.
“I was told my next surgery would be a week later, as I needed lots of IV antibiotics before.
“They were going to have to take a graft from my arm to put on my face and a graft from my leg to cover the one on my arm.
“They were also taking veins from my arm to give me blood flow to the new patch on my face.
“I would need a tracheotomy as the operation would be almost 10 hours and I would be in the ICU after.”
Samantha said the consequences of those few minutes have continued to affect almost every part of her life.
She explained that she stayed away from her younger brothers for several weeks because she was afraid her injuries would frighten them.
She said: “My whole life has been affected by those ten minutes.
“I didn’t see my little brothers for five weeks as I didn’t want to scare them.
“All my family was amazing but I could tell they were terrified as well.
“Tesco has been amazing in supporting me through this.
“They gave me a career break, which gives me a full year off, so I know my job will be there when I’m ready to go back.
“I think the hardest part is getting through all the surgeries.
“I get used to how I look and get a little confidence back and then it changes again after every surgery.”
Although Samantha has undergone several procedures and continues to recover, she said the psychological effects of the attack remain difficult.
She still experiences memories of the moment the dog attacked her and said looking at her reflection can be painful.
She added:
“I get flashbacks of the dog’s face jumping up at me.
“I’ll always remember how hard life was in the hospital.
“When I look in the mirror, I hate it.
“As of now, all of the lacerations have been stitched and my skin graft is healing nicely.
“I still don’t have a lip.
“I just need to trust the process even though it can feel like it’s going nowhere. I can see the difference from January to now.
“I wish I could look normal again and just hope that the doctors and specialists can help me feel like myself again.”

We Have Always Wanted Them to Be Together – Parents Fear for Their Premature Babies as Nurses Prepare to Go on Strike in Boston
The couple’s daughters, Juliette and Kendall, were born at just 24 weeks on August 31. Due to their medical conditions, the babies were taken to different hospitals for specialised treatment.

Kendall reportedly received treatment within 24 hours of her birth. Juliette was also temporarily transferred to Boston Children’s Hospital last week for heart surgery before returning to Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Nearly six weeks after their birth, both girls remain in stable but critical condition and continue to require intensive medical care.
Their parents have been struggling to divide their time between the two hospitals while also caring for their two other children, a three-year-old and an 11-month-old baby, at home.
“It was obviously hard for my wife to go back and forth, for me to go back and forth, but we were comfortable with that, given the nurses we had.
“Our big concern is losing the nurses and that’s what makes it so difficult – the stress of not having the twins together and also not knowing what type of care that they’re going to be receiving.
“We don’t have any answers. We’ve tried to reach out to the hospital. The nurses, obviously for legal reasons, can’t talk to us, so they just try to comfort us, but we don’t know who’s coming in or what their qualifications are.
“We’re just afraid. We don’t know what we’re up against,” the exasperated father continued, adding that the twins “require such delicate care.
“From day one, we have always wanted them to be together. They were basically hugging one another for 24 weeks in the womb…and then you kind of just rip them out and they’re on their own in traumatic settings,
“Ideally, we would love to just get them in the same place so that my wife can hold them and provide milk for them at the same time.”
Kelsey reportedly managed to hold both babies for the first time this week. The twins, however, remain on breathing tubes as they continue receiving medical care.
According to Mike, doctors had told the family that Kendall might need assistance with walking, using the bathroom and performing everyday activities throughout her life because of her condition.
Despite the challenges, the father said the family remained hopeful about the twins’ progress.
“But luckily, it’s been kind of a miracle — we think that there are good signs.
“We’re just hopeful that everything is going to work out the way it’s supposed to, and that they’ll both continue to heal.
The family’s concerns come as approximately 4,000 nurses at Brigham and Women’s Hospital prepare for an indefinite strike scheduled to begin next week if union representatives and hospital management fail to reach an agreement.
Mike fears that losing the nurses who have been caring for his daughters could create additional uncertainty during an already difficult period for the family.
As the labour dispute continues, the couple hopes their daughters will keep making progress and eventually be able to receive care together, allowing the family to spend more time with both babies.

I love her so much- Man Set to Remarry Ex-Wife Who Cut Off His Penis With a Knife Four Years After She Was Released From Prison
Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here
Daiane was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison for the incident, which occurred on December 22, 2023. Reports state that she was later released in November, after which Gilberto contacted her to rekindle their relationship, saying he had missed her.
Gilberto is now planning a second wedding with Daiane, using part of the compensation he received over the unauthorised circulation of photographs showing his injuries.
Follow Our Telegram Channel here
According to reports, Daiane lured Gilberto into having sex in 2023 before tying his hands with a pair of knickers and cutting his genitals with a knife.
Medical staff reportedly told him the photographs were necessary because they had never encountered a similar case and wanted to determine the best way to treat the injury.
Gilberto later discovered that the images had been shared in a WhatsApp group and circulated on Twitter, now known as X.
Investigators reportedly traced one of the photographs to a computer at the hospital. The Santa Casa de Atibaia medical centre was subsequently ordered to pay him compensation.
Gilberto received £3,020, equivalent to BRL 20,000, in damages. However, he expressed dissatisfaction with the amount, saying it did not reflect the pain and humiliation he had endured.
He said: “This compensation is very low. I want more. I need money because I also want to renovate my house.”
He has reportedly appealed for additional compensation. Meanwhile, he intends to use the money towards his planned wedding and a penile prosthesis.
Gilberto has already undergone blood tests ahead of the proposed surgery, for which he may receive assistance through Brazil’s health system.
Despite what happened, he has continued to defend Daiane, describing the attack as something she did “in the heat of the moment”.
Speaking about his decision to reunite with her, he said: “I really want to get back together with her. I love her.
“It never crossed my mind to do anything bad to her, and it still doesn’t.”

Mother and 14-Year-Old Daughter Die After Three-Storey Building Collapses on Their House in Anambra State
Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here
The tragic incident reportedly occurred at about 9:45 p.m. on October 8, 2026, trapping the woman and her daughter inside their apartment in a neighbouring bungalow when the structure came crashing down.
According to eyewitnesses, the building reportedly made loud noises before its walls began to crack and the structure eventually collapsed. Other people trapped beneath the rubble were rescued by emergency responders and taken to hospital, residents said.

One eyewitness described what happened, saying:
“Some other people who were also trapped in the rubble were later rescued and rushed to the hospital by an emergency response team that mobilised to the scene to evacuate victims.”
Residents also raised concerns about the construction, claiming that the waterlogged nature of the land made it unsuitable for a three-storey building.
According to them, the engineer who initially handled the project had advised the builder to restrict the structure to two floors because of the ground conditions. However, the recommendation was reportedly ignored, and another engineer was later brought in to continue the project.
The collapse claimed the lives of the landlady of the neighbouring bungalow and her youngest child.
The woman’s son, identified as Chimobi, said three members of the family were inside the apartment when the building collapsed.
“I was outside at the time of the incident. But my mother and my sister were in the bedroom when the building collapsed directly on them, leaving them with no opportunity to escape,” he said.
He also lamented that earlier warnings about the building had not been heeded.
“It’s unfortunate. We had earlier warned the builder about the danger posed by the structure and we were joined by other residents in calling for the construction to be stopped, but our concerns were not heeded,” he lamented.
Confirming the incident on Thursday, the Anambra State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Chijioke Ojukwu, described the collapse as unfortunate.
Ojukwu visited the scene alongside Noble Igwe, the member representing Ogbaru One Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly.
The commissioner blamed the incident on the use of substandard building materials and disclosed that authorities had previously issued a stop-work notice on the structure.
“The structure was an illegal building and we had ordered its demolition and the land is going to be forfeited to the state government. We are investigating other unapproved buildings under construction in the area,” he said.
“It collapsed under the weight of negligence and poor-quality construction. It fell over and killed the residents of a neighbouring bungalow, a woman and her child.”

I’m left with nothing,I’m homeless, I have no child, no family- Man cries out after Kenyan girlfriend dupes him
Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here
Rodrick Lodge said he was left financially devastated after what he believed was a genuine relationship with a Kenyan woman eventually turned out to be a scam.
Follow Our Telegram Channel here
Rodrick first met his Kenyan girlfriend, “Mary,” while working in Nairobi in 2020, following the death of his wife of 25 years, Pauline.
He said: “I’ve known her since 2020 and I thought she was a friend.
“We started exchanging messages on Viber. She told me she was MD of a beauty company and had 30 employees. She sounded successful, she said she was having a house built in Voi, about 200 miles from Nairobi.”
As their communication continued, Rodrick said the woman told him she was building a house and sent him numerous photographs, including intimate images which he said he no longer has.
Although they initially remained friends, Rodrick eventually developed feelings for her and the relationship progressed. He said he later decided that he wanted to marry her.
Rodrick claimed that he paid a dowry and also agreed to cover expenses for a house he believed she was building.
However, despite the length of their relationship, Rodrick said they never met in person. He also claimed they never spoke over the phone, adding that whenever he tried to arrange a meeting, she would give him different excuses.
“She was sending pictures of solar panels and water pumps. I thought it was going well. Then, in November, she told me she had to go to Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to market her products. She said there were cash flow problems and the business didn’t have enough money. So I paid for that too. She’d send pictures of her and her friends in Kigali [capital of Rwanda], it looked like she was doing well.”
Rodrick said he continued sending money despite the repeated excuses and delays, only becoming suspicious after another request for financial assistance.
“She was always putting things off, making excuses. I realise now I was such a fool. I should have stopped it there and then. In May she said her dad was in a particular hospital and she needed help with the bills. But when we checked, there was no one with his name there. That finished it.”
After making inquiries about the hospital, Rodrick said he began to believe that the person he had been communicating with may not have been who he thought she was.
“I doubt that Anita even exists. I’ve no idea who I’ve been communicating with. I’m in such a mess. My bank accounts have been frozen because I’ve gone overdrawn, I can’t get access to my pensions and I’ve got nowhere to live. I’ve been a giving person all my life and I aimed to retire to Kenya and marry Anita.
“I’ve been so stupid. She never existed. It was a creation. I’m totally lost. I have zero cash and am relying on a couple of friends. I’m going to be a poor man for a long time. It was all a scam, I realise that now. I have no family, no kids that can help me. It’s over for me.”
Rodrick said the experience has left him without access to his savings and pensions and with nowhere to live, leaving him dependent on friends as he tries to recover from the financial loss
