Anne-Marie DanielsA woman who said her face was mauled by a dog while she was on holiday at a Norfolk caravan park has described it as “the most horrific moment of my life”.
Anne-Marie Daniels, 46, said two dogs attacked her at Cherry Tree Holiday Park, in Burgh Castle, near Great Yarmouth.
The mother-of-two from Cambridge said she suffered flashbacks of one of the dogs on top of her.
A spokesperson for the park, which is run by Parkdean Resorts, said the safety of its guests was extremely important.
‘The most horrific moment of my life’
Staying with her parents and two sons, Ms Daniels said she was walking to her caravan with her seven-year-old when two dogs “went for” her son.
When she tried to stop them, they turned on her and started “mauling her face”, she said.
“I was trying to kick them off and protect my face, but they managed to get through and bit me through my leather jacket,” she said.
She said dogs should be kept on leads at caravan parks but added: “There is not one sign saying ‘Keep your dog on the lead’.”
Norfolk Police confirmed it was called to the site on the evening of 7 August following reports of a dog being out of control.
Cherry Tree Holiday Park describes itself as dog-friendly but its rules say guests must always keep their pets on a lead.
The spokesperson said there was a “zero-tolerance policy” on this, and the dogs were removed the following day.
“Security staff worked with the local police and paramedics who confirmed while on-site they were satisfied Anne and all other guests were OK,” they added.
Police said a woman and a child received superficial injuries which did not require hospital treatment.
