Durban - A four-year-old girl was seriously injured on Tuesday after being mauled by two German Shepherds in Pietermaritzburg, paramedics said.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said the girl had serious injuries over her entire body.
Her mother - a domestic worker at a home in Athlone - had taken the child to work with her.
"The woman was hanging up washing and a side gate had been left open," said Botha.
Two German Shepherds ran through the open gate and mauled the girl.
"The girl was treated at the scene and taken to Northdale Hospital, Botha said.
The dogs belong to the woman's employer.
