Boy, 10, bitten and dragged underwater by dingo in horror attack at holiday resort before being saved by sister

A ten-year-old boy was bitten and dragged under water in a vicious dingo attack on an Australian beach before being rescued by his sister. The attack took place on K’gari beach less than two weeks after park rangers euthanised another animal. A dingo attacked a ten-year-old boy on an Australian beach The kid was bitten and puller under the water by the predator after walking along the waters edge on the island’s west coast on June 16. But he was miraculously saved when his brave 12-year-old sister intervened. “The family treated the boy for puncture wounds to his shoulder and arms and scratches and bruises on his collarbone and arm,” ranger Danielle Mansfield said on Thursday. “Thankfully he sustained no serious injuries, and when the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service offered medical assistance, the family declined,” assistant principal ranger Danielle Mansfield said. “Rangers identified the tagged wongari, and it was later seen loitering near the camping area, where it was digging up food scraps that had been buried in the sand.” The ranger said the dingo was accustomed to human interaction, showing no wariness around people. They chased the animal away and have now increased patrols in the area. Mansfield said there too many cases of kids not being properly supervised on the island. “On K’gari, this means children and teenagers must be within arm’s reach of an adult at all times, even if you can’t see any dingoes in the area.” She warned that because visitors “harmlessly” feed the dangerous animals leftover scraps of food, they frequently return to the beach to solicit food as they’ve been previously fed.
