Jack Russel bites baby's ear off: Report
A 17-month-old baby from eMalahleni lost her right ear after it was bitten off by the family's pet Jack Russell terrier, Beeld reported on Monday.
Doctors struggled for a week to save Jolizne Bester's reattached ear, but eventually had to amputate at the Wilgers Hospital in Pretoria.
Her parents, John and Elizma, said they had no idea why the dog, Bakkies, had bitten their child, as the two were inseparable.
The dog was euthanased on the same day.
