Images have emerged showing the injuries suffered by a man attacked by three "bully-type dogs" while out on a morning walk.
The man and a woman were walking on a path near Railway Terrace in Caerau, Maesteg, at around 7am on Saturday, when three reportedly off-lead dogs attacked their dog. In defending his dog and partner from the attack, the man was bitten a number of times by one of the three dogs, resulting in serious injuries.
