Teacher's dog attacked pupil, nine, on school trip

UNITED KINGDOM -- Marshall Gearing was stroking the labrador when it sank its teeth into the side of his head.

His right ear was torn so badly he needed two operations to re-attach it.

But after police carried out an investigation they told Marshall’s mum Amy they will not prosecute.


She is now considering suing the teacher and is demanding the dog is destroyed to prevent it attacking other children.

Amy, 23, said: “Marshall will be scarred for life and is now scared of dogs. He has nightmares and doesn’t want to leave my side when we go out.”

Marshall, a pupil at Kingsthorpe Grove Primary School in Northampton, was visiting Delapre Abbey Park in the town on October 24.

The school said it was “an awful accident that could not have been foreseen”.
