Earlier this afternoon IPSS Medical Rescue responded to reports of a dog attack at Zen Park, Ballito.
On arrival of advanced life support paramedics, it was ascertained that an adult had suffered a seizure in the park. His animal companion was on its lead and seemingly attacked the man during the seizure, out of fear. This resulted in extensive facial trauma.
Paramedics worked to stabilise the patient, all while the dog sat loyally by its owners side. Once stabilised, the patient was transported to hospital while the dog was taken into care by a third party.
