Laura Holmes, 21, was heavily pregnant when an attack by a friend's dog as she sat sending a text message left her with a life-changing injury.
The American Akita dog mauled her face until it was 'hanging off' and she said she feared she and her unborn baby would die as dog attacked her while she was visiting a close friend. She was rushed to Queen's Medical Centre, where surgeons battled to save her face and her baby.
