A toddler has been rushed to hospital after being mauled by several dogs in Australia.

Emergency services rushed to a property on Paterson Road in Yatala, on the Gold Coast, around 5.20pm on Wednesday after reports of a dog attack.

The three-year-old girl was taken to Queensland Children’s Hospital with injuries on her head and neck.

The ambulance service confirmed the incident on Twitter: ‘Concerningly, another young child has sustained significant injuries from dog bites.

‘Multiple paramedic units were called to a private address in Yatala at 5.20pm and transported a child to Queensland Children’s Hospital in a serious condition with head and neck injuries.’

Local media identified the victim as a girl aged three, adding she was attacked by at least three dogs.

It is understood two German Shepards and a French Bull Mastiff were taken from the home about 7pm.

This is the second dog attack this week after a six-year-old girl was mauled by two bull Arabs in Woodbridge.
