Man who lost arm after being mauled in dog attack 'almost died'
A surgeon who had to amputate a man's arm after a dog attack in Banbridge has said the victim's injuries were almost fatal.
Mr Brown, who amputated the victim's left arm, said his injuries were so severe it was a case of "life or limb". Mr Cull said he loves dogs, but he described the one that attacked him, which was not his own, as a monster.Although he passed out after being bitten so many times, he said his recollection was that the dog was a "XXL bully mixed with a mastiff".
Mr Cull said: "The dog was circling me and even trying to stretch its mouth over my head at one stage."After the attack, he was taken to Craigavon Hospital and then the Ulster Hospital for surgery."The poison of the dog saliva was running through my veins… my organs started to shut down … I don't know how they brought me back after that."Mr Cull still walks dogs in spite of the attack.The surgeon, Mr Brown, paid tribute to how Mr Cull has coped since the attack.
