“She was crying when I got home and her face was wrapped in a white towel,” Stacey told the outlet.

“My partner couldn’t even look at it, it just made him cry,” he said, adding that they wish they had been there when it happened.
Despite the terrible injuries, the “resilient” girl seemed to forgive her attacker.
“Apparently the dog bit her once, he let her go and then sat next to her and she sat next to the dog trying to calm him down,” Stacey said.
Eloise was rushed to Rotherham Hospital, where she underwent a three-hour surgery.
“He had a complete bite mark on the bottom of his right cheek that went all the way to his jaw and then he had a cut in the corner of his eye that needed to be stitched,” Stacey said.
“He had another cut that needed to be stitched and a cut on his cheekbone that also needed to be stitched.”
The poor girl blamed herself for the attack, Eloise’s mother said.

“When we were at the hospital, she said, ‘it’s my fault, I’m sorry,’” Stacey said. “It was heartbreaking for me to hear her say that.”
South Yorkshire Police said they responded to a report of the attack and investigated.
No arrests were made, but police said in a statement that “the dog was later destroyed.”
Stacey said although she was initially “very angry” with the family after the incident, “but as time went on the emotions calmed down and now Elouise has come out on the other side.”
“They feel it too,” he said, adding that they remain friends. “I couldn’t imagine having to call someone to tell them that his dog had bitten his son.
The distraught mother says she now fears leaving her daughter’s side.
“I’m not necessarily worried about potential scars, as it’s her own story to tell as she grows, but I’m worried about leaving her alone with someone right now; She hasn’t left my side and I don’t think she will for a while. while.”
“We let him go to dinner and have a play date,” Stacey said. “We can’t go back, it’s already over.”
