Keeping your dog on a leash laws in NSW

A six-year-old boy has suffered severe facial injuries after he was attacked by two dogs on the grounds of his school in Melbourne's western suburbs.

Mahyar Tashnizi was bitten on the face at Baden Powell College in Tarneit not long after he arrived at school on Friday 29^th October 2021.

The grade one boy was pounced on by two large stray dogs that had entered the school through a gate that had been left open.

It is understood one of the dogs was a German Shepherd, while the one that bit the child was big enough to fit most of the little boy's face in its mouth.

At the time of the attack, one of Mahyar's fellow students bravely tried to frighten away the dogs by making loud noises.
