Toddler Stable After Dog Bites Neck at Beaudesert Home

Local council now oversees any action regarding the dog under Queensland rules.

Overview

  • The attack, which occurred Thursday shortly after 5pm, left the girl with a significant neck wound before paramedics rushed her to Queensland Children's Hospital.
  • She is now in a stable condition at the Brisbane hospital after being found in a potentially life-threatening state at the scene.
  • The Scenic Rim Regional Council says it is aware of the case, as Queensland puts councils in charge of managing dogs that attack people.
  • Authorities have not disclosed the dog's breed, owner, or whether the animal has been seized or destroyed.
  • Next steps typically include a council risk review that can lead to control requirements or a dangerous-dog listing if warranted.
