A six-year-old boy was subjected to a vicious dog attack in his home, with the pet tearing off part of his scalp. The Staffie, which was bought off Facebook two weeks earlier for only £200, jumped onto Vick Zidko and dragged him down a set of stairs.

The young lad was screaming in terror while the pet dog scratched and bit his head and back. Vick's family rushed to save his life by forcing open the American Staffordshire terrier's jaws which had clamped themselves on the boy.

His mother attempted to calm down Vick after he was safe from the pet, the Mirror reports.
