In Australia, a toddler was attacked by multiple dogs and taken to the hospital in a hurry.

Around 5.20 p.m. on Wednesday, emergency personnel flocked to a home on Paterson Road in Yatala, Gold Coast, in response to reports of a dog attack.

With injuries to her head and neck, the three-year-old girl was rushed to Queensland Children's Hospital.

The ambulance service tweeted a confirmation of the incident: 'Unfortunately, a second little child has suffered serious injuries from dog bites.

"At 5:20 p.m., multiple paramedic units were dispatched to a private address in Yatala and transported a child with serious head and neck injuries to Queensland Children's Hospital."

Local media identified the victim as a girl, aged three, adding she was attacked by at least three dogs.

It is understood two German Shepards and a French Bull Mastiff were taken from the home at about 7pm.

Pictures from the scene show the animals being taken away in metal cages by the management officers.

This is the second dog attack this week after a six-year-old girl was mauled by two bull Arabs in Woodbridge.

The child was also rushed to Queensland Children’s Hospital in a serious condition after sustaining significant abdominal, chest and shoulder injuries.
